Court Temporarily Blocks Trump's Order to Send Troops to Portland

A federal judge in the United States has temporarily blocked President Donald Trump's order to send 200 National Guard troops to Portland, Oregon. This has been reported by Reuters.

Judge Karin Immergut ruled that military personnel could not be sent to the city until October 18, stating that the protests do not pose a threat that would require military intervention. The lawsuit was filed by Oregon's Attorney General, who asserted that Trump's actions violated the rights of the state.

The White House has promised to appeal the decision, insisting that the president acted within the bounds of the law to protect federal properties. The mayor of Portland described the situation as fabricated and emphasized that the city remains peaceful.
