PORTLAND, Ore. — A federal judge has issued a ruling on Oregon's lawsuit challenging the federal deployment of the state's National Guard to Portland. U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut granted the state's motion for a temporary restraining order over President Donald Trump's order to deploy 200 National Guard troops to the city.
The temporary restraining order expires Oct. 18.
The ruling comes after a hearing Friday morning concluded with no immediate decision. Immergut began the hearing by asking questions of each side and allowing them about half an hour each to make their case.
Immergut was assigned to the case Thursday evening after U.S. District Judge Michael H. Simon recused himself. Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield filed the federal lawsuit against the Trump administration in late September.
