Overview

• U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut issued a 14-day temporary restraining order that blocks the planned National Guard deployment to Portland through October 18.
• In her order, the judge said recent Portland protests do not amount to a rebellion and indicated likely Tenth Amendment concerns, noting regular police can address the unrest.
• Trump and the Department of War had directed 200 Oregon Guard troops to a 60-day mission that included protecting ICE facilities, though specific duties were not fully detailed.
• Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield and the city argued the mobilization is unlawful, while the Justice Department defended it as a response to “radicals” threatening federal buildings.
• Federal attorneys said they will appeal, and the broader law-and-order debate intensified as DHS reported Border Patrol agents shot a woman during a confrontation in Chicago and Secretary Kristi Noem sent special-operations teams there.
