Judge Temporarily Blocks Federalization of Oregon Guard
U.S. District Judge Karin J. Immergut, a Trump appointee, issued a temporary restraining order on Oct. 4 blocking President Trump’s federalization and deployment of about 200 Oregon National Guard troops to Portland. The order pauses activation for 14 days through Oct. 18 and sets a hearing for Oct. 17 to consider an extension. Immergut wrote the administration’s claims of daily, violent unrest were “untethered to the facts,” warned that federalizing the Guard absent clear constitutional authority would undermine Oregon’s sovereignty and risk blurring civil and military power, and found the plaintiffs showed a likelihood of success on the merits. Oregon and the city of Portland sued, arguing the deployment violated the Tenth Amendment, the Posse Comitatus Act and other federal law, and state officials including Attorney General Dan Rayfield and Gov. Tina Kotek praised the ruling. The Pentagon had announced the activation to protect ICE facilities and federal property before the ruling, and the administration is expected to appeal to the Ninth Circuit as further litigation continues.
