Judge temporarily blocks Trump admin from sending National Guard to Oregon

A federal judge has temporarily blocked the Trump administration from deploying any National Guard troops into Portland, Oregon.

The ruling, which came down late Sunday, granted California and Oregon a temporary restraining order after President Donald Trump ordered hundreds of California National Guard troops to be deployed into Portland to combat protests at an immigration processing facility.
