Oregon court blocks Trump from deploying National Guard in Portland

A federal court in the US state of Oregon has prohibited President Donald Trump from deploying National Guard units in Portland, according to Associated Press.
District Judge Karin Immergut issued a temporary injunction on October 4 against the deployment of federal forces in Portland, pending further consideration of the case, which was initiated by the city authorities and the state government.
The judge stated that the small-scale protests in Portland cannot serve as justification for the use of federal forces, and that allowing their deployment could harm the sovereignty of the state.
"This country has a longstanding and foundational tradition of resistance to government overreach, especially in the form of military intrusion into civil affairs. This historical tradition boils down to a simple proposition: this is a nation of Constitutional law, not martial law," she said.
Meanwhile, the administration of the US president has already filed an appeal to the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals.
Troops in Portland
Trump stated back in late September that US federal military forces should strengthen law enforcement in Portland. According to the president, the city is suffering from "domestic terrorists." He called the town "war-ravaged" and stated that he had issued the corresponding order to Secretary of War Pete Hegseth.
On October 2, Trump said that federal law enforcement officers failed to ensure the rule of law in Oregon, and that the situation in Portland was turning into lawless chaos. That is why he ordered several hundred National Guard soldiers to be transferred to guard federal buildings in the city.
