On September 27, Trump announced on Truth Social that he had ordered the U.S. Department of Defense to deploy troops to Portland, Oregon to counter what he called "domestic terrorists" in "war-ravaged Portland". Every day that passes proves that local law enforcement can handle any anti-ICE protests.
Federal judge issues permanent injunction barring Trump from deploying National Guard to Portland
PORTLAND, Ore. — U.S. District Court Judge Karin Immergut issued a permanent injunction Friday evening barring the Trump administration from deploying National Guard troops in response to protests outside the ICE building in South Portland.
The ruling follows a preliminary injunction that Immergut issued last week and marks her final decision, but likely not the end of the case. The Trump administration is all but certain to appeal to the 9th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals, and the case could ultimately reach the Supreme Court.
“Since that brief span of a few days in June, the protests outside the Portland ICE facility have been predominately peaceful, with only isolated and sporadic instances of relatively low-level violence, largely between protesters and counter-protesters,” the judge wrote in her 106-page order, “this Court concludes that even giving great deference to the President’s determination, the President did not have a lawful basis to federalize the National Guard.”
The permanent injunction went into effect immediately.
The decision is a setback in the Trump administration’s effort to send National Guard members to the city, and marks the fourth time the judge has blocked the deployment.
