About 200 members of the Oregon National Guard will remain under federal control but cannot yet be deployed to Portland, according to a ruling Wednesday by three judges in a federal appeals court.
U.S. Circuit Judges Susan Graber, Adrienne Nelson and Bridget Bade in the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco granted an administrative stay to the Trump administration on Wednesday that allows the 200 Oregon troops called up under President Donald Trump’s orders to remain federalized, but not deployed.
“The effect of granting an administrative stay preserves the status quo in which National Guard members have been federalized but not deployed,” the judges wrote in their 4-page ruling.
Graber was appointed by former Democratic President Bill Clinton, Nelson by Joe Biden and Bade
