A federal judge in Portland, Oregon, blocked President Donald Trump for now from sending any National Guard troops to the city during protests against his immigration crackdown, after the state accused the government of trying to circumvent a narrower order issued a day earlier.
US District Judge Karin Immergut, a Trump appointee, issued a temporary order late Sunday that will last at least 14 days, halting the administration’s plan to deploy hundreds of troops from California and Texas to Portland. Oregon and California may seek a longer-lasting order later.
