Nov. 8 (UPI) -- A federal judge issued a permanent injunction that prevents the deployment of the National Guard in Portland, Ore., saying Donald Trump "exceeded the President's authority."
U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut, in a 106-page decision Friday, wrote in all caps: "THIS PERMANENT INJUNCTION ORDER IS IN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT."
She issued a temporary restraining order on Oct. 4 blocking the deployment of the Oregon National Guard to assist Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents. One day later a second order blocked deployment of National Guard troops from other states to Portland streets.
"The evidence demonstrates that these deployments, which were objected to by Oregon's governor and not requested by the federal officials in charge of protection of the ICE building, exceeded the president's authority," the judge, who was appointed by Trump during his first term, wrote.
