Federal Judge Blocks Trump's Troop Deployment

This move represents another challenge for Trump, who aims to send military forces to cities perceived as lawless by him, despite opposition from local Democratic leaders.

A federal judge ruled against President Trump's attempt to send 200 Oregon National Guard troops to Portland. This decision is part of a legal battle questioning the legality of the deployment.

U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut made the ruling, marking a significant hurdle for the president's strategy. Trump seeks to deploy military forces to several cities, arguing they are becoming lawless. However, these plans face staunch opposition from their Democratic leaders.
