Plus the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals rules the national guard can be deployed to Portland, Ore.

SEATTLE — A federal appeals court ruled Monday that it will allow President Donald Trump to deploy the national guard to Portland, Oregon. 

Meanwhile. a federal judge in Chicago temporarily blocked troops from entering Chicago. 

President Trump hasn’t said whether he would send federal troops to Seattle, but after adding San Francisco to his list, many here are bracing for that possibility.

“We’re going to go into San Francisco at some point in the not too distant future [and] make that city great again,” Trump said on Sunday to reporters. 

Following that comment, he did not shy away from addressing how he could do it.

“Use the Insurrection Act, I could use that, everybody agrees you’re allowed to use that and there’s no more court cases, there’s no more anything,” he added.

This comes after Trump sent federal troops to Chicago where city and county leaders quickly signed orders to restrict ICE’s actions.

Cook County’s Chief judge banned ICE from making civil arrests at courthouses unless they have a warrant. Federal Judge Sara Ellis also stepped in, blocking agents from using “riot control weapons: like tear gas on protesters and journalists. Ellis also required immigration agents who have body cameras to turn them on for all interactions. 

Cook County’s Board of Commissioners President Toni Preckwinkle went further, banning federal agents from using county property for any part of their operations, including staging, surveillance and debriefing.

This is similar to Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell’s executive order from earlier this month where he also proposed a ban for feds from wearing face coverings.

“This legislation puts Seattle on track to be the first major city in the country to adopt a ban mask on federal officers,” Harrell said on October 8.

But King County Executive Shannon Braddock’s office said in a statement:

“The Executive is not considering any actions similar to those in Cook County, Illinois. She continues to share concerns about potential federal overreach and remains actively engaged with County departments as we work to protect the rights of King County residents.”Â
