Judge to rule by Monday on whether to alter order barring any National Guard troops in Portland

A federal judge in Portland signaled Friday that she could clear the way for Oregon National Guard soldiers to come to the city but still bar out-of-state troops for now.

U.S. District Judge Karin J. Immergut zeroed in on the question of whether she must honor an appeals court ruling that essentially ordered her to dissolve her first temporary restraining order banning the federal deployment of only Oregon troops to protect the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement building in Portland.
