Federal appeals court hears arguments on order blocking National Guard deployment to Portland

from Think Out Loud

A panel of federal judges heard arguments Thursday over whether the Trump administration can send federal troops to Portland.    Last Saturday, a federal judge temporarily blocked the president from mobilizing 200 federalized Oregon National Guard troops. The same judge issued another order a day later barring the president from sending any federalized National Guard members to Portland after he signaled he would send troops from California and Texas.    The administration appealed the first decision to the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. OPB legal affairs reporter Conrad Wilson watched the hearing and joins us with more details.
