A federal judge in Oregon has granted a temporary restraining order blocking the Trump administration from deploying the National Guard into Portland after the president announced he would send in troops to protect what he calls a “war-ravaged” city.
The ruling by the Trump-nominated judge marks the latest setback to White House efforts to crack down on Democratic-led cities it claims are stricken by crime and disorder, often in part by citing the need to protect ICE facilities from riotous protesters.
The temporary restraining order expires in 14 days on October 18, US District Judge Karin Immergut, a Trump nominee, wrote in her order Saturday.
The Trump administration has been pointing to renewed unrest in both Chicago and Portland to justify a deployment of federal troops to the two Democrat-led cities, seizing on new rounds of protests and the recent arrest of a conservative influencer.
President Donald Trump has authorized 300 members of the Illinois National Guard to “protect federal officers and assets” in Chicago, the White House said, after protests at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility near the city led to more than a dozen arrests on Friday.
The White House accused local leaders, including Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, of refusing to quell “ongoing violent riots and lawlessness” in the state.
Pritzker earlier Saturday said he would not call up the National Guard after the Department of Defense asked him to Saturday morning.

Didn’t they already get this figured out in California?
Well, judges are in charge of the military, so ...
Yeah...right...judges in charhe of terrorism now...
Make them all, Nat. Guard, Marines, Army, temporary ICE agents.
Can’t block ICE agents from being deployed at an ICE facility for security.
Way out of her lane.
Not even the Supreme Court.

There is NOTHING wrong with that. The Guard will be used to augment building security. They won’t be sweeping neighborhoods or conducting SWAT raids.
Wake up, judge.
“The ruling by the Trump-nominated judge marks the latest setback to White House...”
A Trump nominee? She has not been appointed yet? Look for that nomination to be pulled in a day or two when Trump learns of her treachery. She’ll be back to chasing ambulances
The little judges are getting on my nerves.
Big time.
What kind of a country is this?
Soldiers and sailors died for saving it and now look at what the Dems and judges are doing to it.
Trump appointed judge.
How silly… Thank goodness you’re just armchair and not running a damn thing (same here though of course)
So little judges control everything and lord it over us medieval peasants who are powerless underlings.
We accept it all, folding our hands and bowing our heads down while on our knees.
Wouldn't want to say goodbye to our vow of sweet, good natured nonviolent surrender, would we?
Of course not.
Judges think they are superior to executive branch. But wait, constitution says judicial is equal, not superior to executive branch. Oh well!
Karin Immergut is a U.S. District Judge for the District of Oregon, appointed by Donald Trump in 2019. She also serves on the United States Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court since 2024
So Bidens masters put her on the FISA court. Nuff sed.
Terrific argument against my suggestion. You must have put a lot of thought into that.
Never seen such brilliant logic, rationale or skill in the Socratic method before.

This judging gig’s the best I ever been in.
New arrival in Heaven: “Hey, that guy just took cuts in front of us and ran up to the head of the line. What gives?”
“Oh, that’s God. He has delusions and thinks he’s a judge.”
True and, FWIW, the FBI, DHS, ATF and DEA are all free to conduct whatever investigations and raids they want to in all areas of Portland. Including courthouses.
