Movies 2 Trump Appointed Appeals Court Judges Rules He Can Send National Guard to Portland

Appeals Court Allows Trump to Send National Guard to Portland

A Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruling Monday will allow the Trump administration to deploy National Guard troops in Portland an important legal victory in a showdown over presidential power thats happening on multiple fronts.


MSN 21 OCT 2025





The ruling overturns one of two lower court decisions to block the deployment as the appeal process plays out, but because the second decision is still in force, the troops cant immediately be deployed.




The three judge panel weighed in on a temporary restraining order issued by US District Judge Karin Immergut, who last week ruled to extend two temporary restraining orders barring the deployment of federal troops to Portland.

In light of the appellate courts ruling, the Trump administration is asking that Judge Immerguts second order be thrown out or paused, arguing in a Monday evening filing that both lower court orders relied on the same legal reasoning.

Trumps success in Oregon comes days after he urged the Supreme Court to allow him to deploy the National Guard in Chicago in an emergency appeal of a lower court order that the administration said improperly impinges on the presidents authority and needlessly endangers federal personnel and property

Even if Trump exaggerates the severity of Portlands protests on social media, this does not change that other facts provide a colorable basis to support the statutory requirements, the majority said in the ruling.

Two Trump appointed judges, Ryan D. Nelson and Bridget S. Bade, sided with the administrations appeal while a third, former President Bill Clinton appointee Judge Susan P. Graber, dissented, saying


Todays decision is not merely absurd. It erodes core constitutional principles, including sovereign States control over their States militias and the peoples First Amendment rights to assemble and to object to the governments policies and actions.

As we have always maintained, President Trump is exercising his lawful authority to protect federal assets and personnel following violent riots that local leaders have refused to address, Jackson said.

Todays ruling, if allowed to stand, would give the president unilateral power to put Oregon soldiers on our streets with almost no justification, Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield said in a statement Monday. We are on a dangerous path in America

Rayfield asked the Ninth Circuit to act swiftly and throw out the majoritys ruling through an en banc review in which a larger panel of 11 appellate judges would reconsider the case.
