US judge extends block on Trump deploying National Guard in Portland, Oregon

A federal judge in Oregon on Wednesday extended temporary restraining orders that block President Donald Trump's administration from deploying any National Guard troops to police Portland, Oregon, as part of his campaign to dispatch military forces to a growing number of Democratic-led locales.

Portland-based U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut, who Trump appointed during his first term as president, during a hearing said she would extend by another 14 days two orders she previously issued that had been set to expire later this week.
