Federal Appeals Court Temporarily Bars Portland Troop Deployment
The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has stayed the order allowing Oregon National Guard troops to be sent into Portland.
A panel of three judges had initially issued the order on Monday, but the appeals court wants more time to decide whether to rehear arguments on the matter.
The decision is the latest in a series of legal actions regarding President Donald Trump's plan to deploy hundreds of National Guard troops to protect a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Portland, which has been the focus of protests.
No statement from the judges was provided, only the order to stay the deployment.
- The order was issued on Friday afternoon by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
- The appeals court wants a broader swathe of judges to decide whether to rehear the matter.
