Saying the Trump administration directly contravened her Saturday order blocking the federal government from mobilizing National Guard troops in Portland, a federal judge issued a broader order barring the federal government from relocating National Guard members to Oregon from any state.

Judge Karin Immergut, a Trump appointee, issued her temporary restraining order after 8 p.m. Sunday in a telephonic hearing. She said she was troubled to learn shortly before the hearing began that U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered 400 Texas National Guard troops to Oregon, Illinois and other locations.

"I see those as direct contravention of the order that this court issued yesterday," she said.
