Trump, Portland and Appeals court
Digest more
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has agreed to reconsider its decision to allow the Trump administration to deploy 200 federalized members of the Oregon National Guard to Portland, potentially setting the stage for a landmark constitutional battle that could reach the Supreme Court.
Portland Mayor Keith Wilson encouraged continued peaceful protest as the city and state pursue other legal avenues to avoid National Guard deployment.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals granted DOJ's request to put on hold a judge's order blocking the deployment while a legal challenge plays out.
Oregon state elected leaders, members of Congress and city of Portland officials vowed to keep up the fight in court and protect peaceful protest.
