During the dissertation convened in an extraordinary mode on Sunday night, judge Karin Immergut decided that the order of sending 200 soldiers of the National Guard from California and additional forces from Texas was an attempt to circumvent her decision from Saturday, when she blocked the attempt to refer to the attempt to send to the Portland of the national guard from Oregon against the will of the authorities of the authorities. The decision was appealed together by the authorities of both states.
On Saturday, the judge – appointed by Donald Trump – stated that the situation in Portland, where violent protests took place under the center of migrants, did not require sending troops there, and blocked the decision until the final resolution of the case under the trial.
“This country has a long and well -established tradition of resistance to abuse of power, especially in the form of military interference in civil affairs. (…) This historical tradition comes down to a simple thesis: it is a country of constitutional law, not martial law” – she emphasized in the justification.

The court blocks Donald Trump's decision. A sharp reaction of the White House
In response to this decision, the leading adviser to Donald Trump, Stephen Miller, considered her as a “legal uprising”, and on Sunday he again stated that the judge had no right to prevent the Supreme Commander of the US troops to send troops to defend federal property. “Today's court judgment is one of the most glaring and severe violations of the constitutional order we've ever seen,” he commented.
Even before the Sunday decision, the judge was also criticized by President Donald Trump, who stated that during the first term he received bad advice on the cast of judicial benches.
The joy of the decision was expressed by the governor of California Gavin Newsom, who appealed against Donald Trump's decision to court. “Donald Trump tried to make our soldiers tools of his political will and although our fight continues, told the law of law told” absolutely not “.” Governor wrote.
Gavin newsom had previously tried – ultimately – to appeal the US administration decision regarding the sending of the National Guard and regular maritime infantry soldiers to Los Angeles. Soldiers who were to go to Portland are part of the unit that was sent to Los Angeles in response to riots against deportation actions.
Demonstrations before the Migrant Deportation Center in Portland
In Portland, the largest city of Oregon, for over a week demonstrations have been underway at the local ICE center, a service dealing with the detention and deportation of illegal immigrants. Every day, over a hundred people participate in them and sometimes there are clashes with federal officers. On Sunday, tear gas and bang grenades were used to accelerate the crowd. In addition to demonstrators, supporters of Donald Trump also come.
Donald Trump, announcing the sending of troops to the city, compared these scenes to scenes from World War II and described Portland as “devastated by war.” The largest city of Oregon is not the only one to which the president sent the army of the National Guard. In June, the soldiers were sent to Los Angeles in response to violent protests, to Washington and Memphis, the army was sent as part of the fight against crime, and on Saturday Trump directed 300 soldiers from Texas to Chicago. During the speech to hundreds of generals in the base at Quantico near Washington, the president suggested to the head of Pentagon that he should make cities training training grounds for troops.
