National guard troops under control of the Trump administration can’t yet move into Portland, despite a ruling earlier this week that said the deployment was legal.

A federal judge in Portland, Oregon, will hold a hearing on Friday to consider next steps in a legal battle over President Donald Trump's effort to deploy National Guard troops to the city, after an appeals court ruled this week that the president likely has the authority to do so.

State lawyers reveal only 31 Federal Protective Service officers were reassigned to Portland at any time since June, not the 115 federal officials claimed.

On Friday, October 24, US District Judge Karin Immergut said she’ll issue a decision no later than Monday on whether to lift a temporary restraining order barring out-of-state National Guard troops from deploying to Oregon.

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has agreed to reconsider its decision to allow the Trump administration to deploy 200 federalized members of the Oregon National Guard to Portland, potentially setting the stage for a landmark constitutional battle that could reach the Supreme Court.

With President Donald Trump this week moving closer to sending National Guard troops to Portland, Democratic U.S. Rep. Janelle Bynum stood outside Camp Withycombe in Clackamas County — where troops are stationed — and asserted that some soldiers disagree with the mission.

The protest comes amid an ongoing legal battle over whether National Guard troops can be deployed in Portland as President Donald Trump ordered.
