A federal judge has temporarily blocked President Donald Trump's attempt to federalize and deploy the Oregon National Guard to Portland.
U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut issued a temporary restraining order late on Saturday barring the deployment of the troops for at least 14 days, saying Trump's basis to federalize the Guard fell short of high bar required to justify a deployment without the approval of the state's governor.
While there have been protests in Portland, the judge said in her decision, they are "not significantly violent or disruptive" to justify the deployment.
