A U.S. District Court on Saturday issued a temporary restraining order (TRO) to halt the Trump administration from deploying 200 National Guardsmen to Portland, Oregon, amid violent anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) protests.
The lawsuit, brought by the State of Oregon and City of Portland, argued the deployment was unlawful, exceeding the president’s statutory and constitutional authority.
Judge Karin Immergut, appointed by President Donald Trump in 2019, granted the TRO blocking the federal action.

Abraham Lincoln attempted to sent reinforcements to Ft. Sumter and was not blocked by any Federal District Court. This is a precedent that the President indeed, does have the authority to send troops and reinforcements. This 2025 Federal District Court judge is just making things up. Silly, silly judge.
Judge has crazy eyes.
Trump appointed Judge. But this one will be overturned.
And if current appearances are anything to go by, this is going to go on for the remainder of Trump’s term.
More than anything in the world, I’d like to turn out to be mistaken. Maybe I will. We’ll see what the future brings.
The President under Article II is CINC. There's very little room, if any, for an inferior Article III judge to interfere. If an Guard commander were to receive a court order, the only proper response is to look at the signature and say, "Not in my chain of command," and ignore it.
Seems to be a pattern here: Federal judge makes anti-Trump ruling. Overturned.
Glad to see these anti-Trump judges repeatedly slapped down.
Trump was already given the authority to deploy the National Guard to LA by SCOTUS. This judge is ignoring the precedent. The SCOTUS should crush this judge hard for disobeying SCOTUS decisions.
Probably doing backflips establishing her 'independence' from President Trump.
If you riot or commit a crime or harm anyone the gov’t has the RIGHT to CANCEL YOUR CONTRACT WITH THEM FOR any government money. CUT OF THEIR welfare, food stamps, section 8 OR any GOVERNMENT $. Every government program you accept comes with CONDITIONS. If you break the CONTRACT you LOSE.
The rioting will stop. Soros does not pay enough to the paid rioters for them to lose their government $. CUT THEM OFF GOV’T TAX $.
No Police - No Court giving DUE PROCESS - Just “you broke the contract we are ENFORCING the consequences”.
“Glad to see these anti-Trump judges repeatedly slapped down”
It was a Trump appointed judge. Probably recommended by one of his anti-Trump DOJ people.
Ignore and proceed. Dems set the precedent under Obozo and Autopen.
Another foreign skank Dipstick judgee telling Americans how the cow ate the cabbage. I’m getting tired of all those black robed old ladies regardless of who nominated them.
“Trump was already given the authority to deploy the National Guard to LA by SCOTUS. This judge is ignoring the precedent”
That’s the missing point here.
We already went through this in June.
Apparently Karen was out to lunch that day. Someone needs to tell her she’s out of line.
And it IS an emergency: waiting 18 days to get this overturned means the now designated terrorist gang known as ANTIFA gets to intimidate the Federal government in Portland uninhibited.
These corrupt judges need to be asked what the citizens are supposed to do when the state government from the governor on down to the local police are not enforcing the law and protecting the citizens. The President has responsibility for law and order throughout the entire country and when states do not enforce the law and allow chaos, he has a responsibility to step in. This judge will be overturned.
No federal judge has the slightest authority to prohibit a military deployment under an emergency declaration. Congress could override his EO with a 2/3 vote, or impeach him.
But he can safely ignore this idiot “judge”.
And he should announce she has no standing, has no plan to appeal since she is devoid of standing, and proceed with the plan.
The Whiskey Rebellion, they refused to obey a law, they organized, rioted, and attacked a federal tax man in his building, and remained in a state of general rebellion.
George Washington lead the troops to put the rebellion down. Basically, western Pennsylvania was no different that Portland.
Then consider John Brown’s raid on a federal building in Harpers Ferry. The President didn’t call the local sheriff, he sent in the Marines.
He can safely ignore this woman.
The judge was a Mitchy Poo and Linda Grahanesty Dem plant .
I saw her photo
Pure Cali Commie Look and mentality .
Does anyone check these Mitchy and Linda picks .
Time to simply ignore her and send in the Marines. She has zero power to stop a military deployment against an organized formation violently attacking federal buildings and personnel that a local government will not act.
It is beyond litigation. Maybe Trump will grow a backbone and channel Andrew Jackson.
Even the Supremes cannot stop this. Congress alone can stop him.
"Judge has crazy eyes."
That’s ok, just send in the REAL military...
