US EditionFederal judge extends order blocking Trump from deploying National Guard troops to Portland
Judge Karin Immergut ruled the administration lacked legal grounds to deploy National Guard troops amid sporadic violence, with a final decision due Nov. 7, 2025.
- On Nov. 2, U.S. District Court Judge Karin Immergut issued a preliminary injunction blocking National Guard deployment to Portland through 5 p.m. Nov. 7, citing likely federalization beyond delegated authority.
- Following a three-day trial, the court reviewed over 750 exhibits in Oregon, Portland, and California’s challenge to federal troop deployment, as Judge Karin Immergut noted.
- A federal witness, R.C., testified he was `surprised` to learn of the deployment and said he did not request troops, while protests outside the ICE facility typically drew a couple dozen people.
- Until rehearing, the appeals court initial order keeps the Guard federalized but barred from deployment, and the Trump administration is expected to appeal after the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals voted for an 11-judge rehearing.
- The decision positions the judiciary as a check on executive deployments, with related appeals reaching the U.S. Supreme Court, which has asked for further briefing on Title 10, Section 12406, delaying action until mid-November.
