Trump Sees Victory in Appeals Court Ruling on Oregon National Guard Deployment
President Donald Trump is touting a new appeals court ruling that endorsed his deployment of the National Guard to Portland, Oregon, as he seeks the Supreme Court's approval for similar deployments in other cities, including Chicago. The Supreme Court is weighing whether to allow Trump's administration to deploy the National Guard without congressional approval.
President Donald Trump is highlighting a recent appeals court decision supporting his deployment of National Guardsmen to Portland, Oregon, as the US Supreme Court reviews a similar case involving Chicago. The ruling from an 11th Circuit Court of Appeals judge pitted Trump's authority against a federal judge who blocked the deployment, and the president sees it as a favorable development. Trump has requested that the Supreme Court overturn the federal judge's ruling and allow his administration to deploy the National Guard to Portland. The court's decision could have implications for other cities facing similar unrest.
