On October 20 local time, the U.S. Court of Appeals allowed U.S. President Trump to send troops to Portland, Oregon.
US President Trump announced on September 27th that he would send troops to Portland, which is ruled by the Democratic Party, to deal with "domestic terrorists". Secretary of Defense ("Secretary of War") Hegseth sent a memorandum to Oregon Governor Tina Kottke on September 28, authorizing 200 Oregon National Guard members to perform federal functions for 60 days, including "protecting federal property that is or may be threatened by protests." Subsequently, Oregon and Portland jointly sued the federal government in an attempt to prevent the National Guard from entering. Federal District Judge Karin Immergut of Oregon issued a two-week temporary restraining order on October 4th, blocking the Trump administration's plan to send 200 National Guard personnel to Portland, the state.
