A federal judge appointed by President Donald Trump moved late Sunday to block the White House from sending 300 out-of-state National Guard troops to Portland, Oregon, as protests continued on the city’s streets.
U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut, appointed by Trump himself in his first term, had ruled earlier in the day that the president could not mobilize California troops for deployment to Portland, having already said Oregon’s own National Guard could not be used on Saturday.
