WASHINGTON, Oct. 21 (Xinhua) — A federal appeals court on Monday allowed the Donald Trump administration to deploy National Guard troops to Portland, overturning a lower court ruling that blocked the deployment.
The decision was made by two of three judges on the San Francisco-based U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, about two weeks after a federal judge temporarily blocked President Donald Trump's attempt to send National Guard troops to Portland, Oregon.
The justices found that the president "probably" lawfully exercised his statutory authority to federalize the National Guard when "the President is unable, by means of regular troops, to enforce the laws of the United States."
The evidence the president relied on reflected a "realistic assessment of the facts and the law within the 'range of fair judgment,'" the judges said in their opinion.
One justice explained his dissent by arguing that Congress authorized the president to deploy the National Guard "only in genuine emergencies" to repel an invasion, suppress an insurrection, or overcome an inability to enforce the laws.
The state of Oregon and the city of Portland filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration on September 28, shortly after U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth authorized the deployment of 200 Oregon National Guard troops to Portland, the state's largest city. –0–
