On Saturday, U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut issued a temporary restraining order (TRO) against President Donald Trump's deployment of federalized Oregon National Guard members in Portland. In response to a lawsuit by Oregon and the city of Portland, Immergut concluded that the deployment exceeded the president's statutory authority and violated the state autonomy protected by the 10th Amendment.
Trump responded to that decision by ordering the deployment of federalized California and Texas National Guard troops to Portland. On Sunday, Immergut rejected that switcheroo, saying it was "in direct contravention of the court's order issued yesterday." To underline that point, she expanded her TRO to cover "the relocation, federalization or deployment of members of the National Guard of any state or the District of Columbia in the state of Oregon."
