ordered National Guard troops to Portland, Oregon, a federal judge ruled on Friday in a legal setback to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irishtimes.com\/tags\/trump-presidency\/\" target=\"_blank\"

class=\"c-paragraph paywall \">The ruling by US district judge Karin Immergut is the first to permanently block Mr Trump\u2019s use of military force to quell protests against immigration authorities. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph paywall \">Mr Trump is also attempting to do that in Democratic-led Los Angeles, Chicago and Washington, DC. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph paywall \">The ruling replaces her interim order that had prevented the Portland deployment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph paywall \">White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson said in a statement on Friday that Mr Trump had exercised his lawful authority to protect federal officers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph paywall \">\u201cPresident Trump will not turn a blind eye to the lawlessness plaguing American cities and we expect to be vindicated by a higher court,\u201d Ms Jackson said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph paywall \">Judge Immergut, a Trump appointee, said the administration had no lawful basis to claim that there was a rebellion in Portland or that the government was unable to enforce federal law due to the protests.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph paywall \">\u201cThe occasional interference to federal officers has been minimal, and there is no evidence that these small-scale protests have significantly impeded the execution of any immigration laws,\u201d she said in her 106-page opinion and order.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph paywall \">Mr Trump\u2019s attempts to use military force to tamp down unrest are a sharp break with long-standing but rarely tested norms against deploying troops on US soil.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph paywall \">The Trump administration is likely to appeal Friday\u2019s ruling, and the case could ultimately reach the supreme court.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph paywall \">The City of Portland and Oregon Attorney General\u2019s Office sued in September, alleging the Trump administration was exaggerating occasional violence to justify sending in troops under a law permitting presidents to do so in cases of rebellion. \u2013 Reuters<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"US president Donald Trump unlawfully ordered National Guard troops to
