US District Judge Karin Immergut held an emergency hearing Sunday evening after President Trump circumvented her previous order halting troop deployment to Portland.
Last weekend, President Trump authorized troops to Portland, Oregon, and other Democrat-run cities to protect ICE agents from Antifa terrorists and other radical far-left groups.
“At the request of Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, I am directing Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, to provide all necessary Troops to protect War ravaged Portland, and any of our ICE Facilities under siege from attack by Antifa, and other domestic terrorists. I am also authorizing Full Force, if necessary. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” Trump previously said on Truth Social.
Right on cue, Democrat-run Oregon sued the Trump Administration to stop the deployment of troops.
Judge Immergut, on Saturday, blocked President Trump’s National Guard deployment to Portland.
On Saturday evening, Judge Immergut, a Trump appointee, issued a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) and blasted President Trump’s decision to deploy troops.
The TRO will expire on October 18.
The judge warned that Trump’s justification to deploy troops to Portland may send the country into a constitutional crisis.
On Sunday, President Trump called up hundreds of California National Guard Troops to Portland to circumvent the judge’s order blocking Oregon National Guard Troop deployment.
Trump is also activating up to 400 Texas National Guard troops for deployment to Oregon, Illinois and other states amid violent, anti-ICE protests.

California joined Oregon’s request for a second TRO to block the latest troop deployment.
Judge Immergut fumed during Sunday night’s hearing before she granted Oregon and California’s motion to block the new troop deployment.

The judge blocked ALL troop to deployment to Oregon.
15/ Plaintiff: Appropriate to issue a second order with broader scope to incorporate reasoning, “exploited” b/c TRO limited to Oregon, so we want to prohibit stay federalized members of any national guards of any state or district of columbia. Judge: That’s what I will do, I will…
