flag Court rules federal deployment of National Guard to Portland illegal, upholding state authority.

flag The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has dismissed the Trump administration’s appeal over the federal deployment of National Guard troops to Portland, upholding a lower court’s ruling that the move violated federal law and the Constitution. flag The decision ends the legal challenge after the administration attempted to deploy 200 Oregon National Guard members in September 2024 without state consent, though only 100 were sent and never deployed due to legal hurdles. flag The ruling reinforces state authority over its National Guard and follows a pattern of judicial pushback against executive overreach, with Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield calling it a victory for the rule of law. flag The federal deployment to Portland and five other cities cost about $100 million.
