- A federal judge has permanently blocked the deployment of the National Guard in Portland by the Trump administration, deeming it unconstitutional.
- This decision was based on a ruling that the deployment violated the 10th Amendment of the United States Constitution.
- The ruling came after a three-day trial concerning protests at an ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) building in Portland.
- The court scrutinized the federal government’s intervention during the protests and found it overstepped constitutional boundaries by infringing on state rights.
- This ruling reinforces the limits of federal authority when it comes to deploying military forces in states without consent.
- The case has implications for the balance of power between state and federal governments, particularly in matters of handling protests and civil unrest.
