Judge Rules Trump's Title 10 National Guard Deployment To Protect Portland ICE Facility Unconstitutional

A federal judge, Karin Immergut, permanently barred the Trump administration’s federalization of Oregon National Guard troops under 10 U.S.C. §12406 to respond to protests at Portland’s ICE facility, finding the move unconstitutional and beyond presidential authority. The ruling emphasizes Tenth Amendment limits and rejects DOJ claims that protests constituted a rebellion or exceeded available federal resources. The case is part of wider litigation over Title 10 deployments in cities like Los Angeles and Chicago and could reach the Supreme Court.
