A 9th Circuit Court of Appeals panel ruled for the Trump administration Monday, allowing the Oregon National Guard to deploy to Portland while the case continues.
It was a 2-1 split, with the two Trump appointees overturning the district court’s conclusion that the conditions on the ground did not fulfill the statutory requirements to deploy the Guard.
Judge Susan Graber, a Clinton appointee, asked her colleagues on the 9th Circuit to vacate the majority opinion in a scorching dissent.
“I urge my colleagues on this court to act swiftly to vacate the majority’s order before the
illegal deployment of troops under false pretenses can occur,” she wrote. “Above all, I ask those who are watching this case unfold to retain faith in our judicial system for just a little longer.”
This is a breaking news story and will be updated.
