Oregon officials have asked a federal judge to temporarily prohibit President Donald Trump from mobilizing national guard troops in Portland while their lawsuit against the administration proceeds.

State leaders filed a lawsuit in federal court in Oregon on Sunday, challenging the president’s decision to deploy troops to quell protests outside of a Portland immigration facility. The lawsuit called the deployment an “unlawful federalization” of the National Guard.
