The judge prevents Trump from sending the California National Guard to Portland

An American federal judge temporarily prevented the Trump administration from deploying troops from the National Guard of Texas and California in Portland, Oregon.

The decision late Sunday Sunday, after the same court refused Trump’s attempt to deploy the own members of the Oregon National Guard in Portland.

Portland is the last city led by Democrats targeted as part of the president’s attempt to deal with what it says is a crime outside control, in the midst of protests against the application of immigration to its administration.

Trump also authorized the deployment of national guard troops from other states in Chicago in Illinois, to approach what he says is a crime outside control.

On Sunday, the decision of the American district district judge Karin Immergut intervened shortly after the Pentagon confirmed that 200 members of the California National Guard had been reallocated in Portland to “support American immigration and the application of customs and other official federal functions”.

California and Oregon had requested a temporary ban on deployment.

Judge Immergut, who was appointed by Trump, said there was no evidence that recent demonstrations in the city make the presence of federal national guard troops.

During the emergency hearing on Sunday, she put pressure on the lawyers of the federal government on how the deployment of troops of other states was not simply a way to bypass her previous decision denying the deployment of the Oregon National Guard.

In this decision, she said that the use of soldiers to suppress disorders without Oregon consent risked the sovereignty of this state and others, and ignited tensions in the city of Portland.

Sunday’s decision will remain in force until at least October 19. The White House has not yet answered.

In the previous remarks, the Trump administration had declared that the president exercised his “legitimate power to protect federal assets and staff in Portland following violent riots and attacks against the police”.

Meanwhile, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker said late Sunday evening that Trump “commanded 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon and other places in the United States”.

In a statement, the governor called the proposed deployment “Trump’s invasion” and said that there was “no reason” to send troops in any state without “knowledge, consent or cooperation” of local officials.

He told CNN that the authorization of the troops there would encourage protests and accused the administration of creating a “war zone” to rationalize the response.

Pritzker also called the Governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, to “immediately withdraw any support for this decision and refuse to coordinate”.

In response, Abbott said that he had “fully authorized” Trump’s decision to call the Texas National Guard “to ensure the security of federal officials”.

“You can either fully apply the protection of federal employees, or move away and let Texas Guard do so,” he said in a press release on X.

Like Portland, Chicago has seen demonstrations concerning an increase in the application of immigration. The demonstrations became violent on Saturday, the immigration authorities saying that they opened fire on an armed woman after she and others have hit their cars in law enforcement vehicles.

The state of the woman is not clear, but the officials said that she went to the hospital.

Demonstrations have continued in Portland and other cities concerning the increase in immigration application of the Trump administration.

Portland, in particular, has long attracted Trump’s anger to his alleged concentration of people whom his supporters describe as an antifa, abbreviated as “anti-fascist”. The president recently signed a decree designating the group, which is a vaguely organized movement of far -left activists, as a domestic terrorist organization.

The deployment of Portland occurred one day after Trump authorized the deployment of 300 troops of the National Guard in Chicago under a similar pretext.

The National Guard is the main combat reserve of the army and the Air Force. The state -based military force can be called by a state governor or the American president. It is often deployed to provide help in the event of a disaster after floods and hurricanes, but can also support military operations abroad.

During the summer, Trump ordered the national guard troops to be deployed in Washington, DC and Los Angeles, saying that they were necessary to repress crime or demonstrations. These were important decisions because deployments are generally left to the governor of a state.

Trump sought to use the national guard troops in a number of American cities to repress crime and support the application of immigration – including Washington, DC and California.

During the summer, there were major daily demonstrations in Los Angeles after the city became the target of increasing raids.

In September, a federal judge in California ruled that the deployment by Trump of the National Guard in Los Angeles was illegal because he violated an act which limits the power of the federal government to use the military force for domestic affairs.

The administration appeals to this decision.
