Law professor breaks down legal battle over National Guard in Portland

from KGW’s Straight Talk · host Stephanie Domurat/KGW

Portland has been at the center of a whirlwind legal battle in recent days, with President Donald Trump characterizing the city as a lawless war zone and pushing to send in National Guard troops under federal command — only to be repeatedly blocked by Judge Karin Immergut after Oregon sued, arguing that the anti-ICE protests have been largely peaceful and Trump is mischaracterizing the situation. Professor Tung Yin was a guest on this week's episode of Straight Talk to help make sense of the rapidly evolving court fight and break down what's likely to happen next. Yin is a professor of law at the Lewis and Clark Law School, whose areas of expertise include national security and terrorism law.
