(The Hill) – A federal appeals court on Monday said President Trump may deploy the National Guard across Oregon for now, a boon to his efforts to send troops into several Democratic-led cities.

The 2-1 ruling from a three-judge panel on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit lifts a lower court order halting Trump’s deployment of National Guard members while the administration’s appeal is resolved.

Another order from the lower court blocking Trump’s takeover of Oregon’s National Guard, which the appeals court previously lifted temporarily, will remain as such.

"Rather than reviewing the President’s determination with great deference, the district court substituted its own determination of the relevant facts and circumstances,” the unsigned order read.
