White House Challenges Court Decision on National Guard Deployment

The White House plans to appeal a court ruling that temporarily blocks the deployment of National Guard troops to Portland, Oregon. The ruling challenges the federal government's authority, and a White House press secretary expressed confidence in the president's legal authority to proceed.

The White House announced on Monday its intention to challenge a recent court ruling that hinders the federal government's decision to deploy National Guard troops in Portland, Oregon.

A federal judge had issued a temporary block against the Trump administration's move, citing legal constraints.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt expressed confidence in the president's legal rights, anticipating a swift hearing on the matter.
