In a move that does not change the situation on the ground in Portland, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has temporarily lifted a lower court's order blocking the deployment of Oregon National Guard troops to the city.
However, a broader order that prohibits any state's National Guard from deploying into Portland remains in effect.
The administrative stay only applies to Saturday's order from U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut prohibiting the deployment of the Oregon National Guard into the Portland area. The Ninth Circuit did not consider the strength of either side's legal argument, only issuing a stay to minimize harm while the court deliberates.
Immergut's more sweeping order from Sunday night - which prohibits any state's National Guard from going into Portland - remains in effect. The Trump administration has not formally appealed or challenged the Sunday order.
