Oct. 29 (UPI) -- A federal appeals court has agreed to reconsider a decision that would have allowed President Donald Trump to send National Guard troops to Portland, Ore.
The decision tosses out a ruling from last week of a three-judge panel that overturned a lower court's ruling against the administration.
The administration has been blocked since earlier this month from deploying troops to the city because of Judge Karin Immergut's ban.
The panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit on Oct. 20 paused Immergut's order. It said she had not shown sufficient deference to the president's judgment that troops were needed to carry out federal law. Protests were preventing Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents from arresting people in the city, the administration alleged. The ruling was 2-1 in the three-judge panel.
