The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has cleared the way for the Trump administration to send National Guard troops to Portland, Oregon. The 9th CCA lifted a lower court’s temporary restraining order that previously blocked the deployment. [Ruling Here]
[SOURCE]
A three-judge panel for the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals voted 2-1 to stay a district court order that had prevented the deployment of National Guard troops to the city. The majority opinion found it was likely that the president had lawfully exercised his statutory authority.
(Via Politico) – A federal appeals court panel has backed President Donald Trump’s authority to send National Guard troops into Portland, Oregon, concluding that though the president’s claims on social media “may exaggerate” the violence in the city, he may still have had a valid basis for the deployment.
The 2-1 ruling, endorsed by two Trump appointees to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, is the latest win for Trump’s effort to deploy the military into cities across the country over the fierce objections of state and local leaders. Trump has cited violence outside immigration facilities as a basis for the deployments, saying it has impeded his ability to enforce the law, but governors and mayors say there has been minimal unrest and Trump is using largely peaceful protests as a pretext to expand his power.

The appeals court ruling is preliminary, and the Lawfare fight is expected to continue. The state of Oregon and city of Portland may seek further review from a larger appeals court panel or appeal directly to the Supreme Court.
A similar Lawfare battle is taking place in Illinois, where a judge has blocked the deployment of National Guard troops. The Trump administration has also appealed that ruling.

Did they really have a choice? At this late date, there are videos out there showing the Navy Seals and Special Operations with the use of Military Intelligence that appears to already PROVE, with evidence in hand from the raids, that the Cartels were AT WAR on American (USA) soil and Military Action has PROOF in Hand that is Exactly what their intent and mission via Foreign Help and Monies was and is.
can’t wait for proof that the governors of Illinois and Oregon and the mayors of Chicago and Portland are on the take from the drug cartels.
And Washington state!
Someone should just point out the fact that he who was appointed using vote by mail fraud likes little boys way too much
Not that they are on the take from cartels, but surely Soros.
If President Trump CAN deploy troops to Portland than President Trump has the RIGHT to deploy troops anywhere. The supreme has already made the ruling. How many more has to declare it his right and duty as president? Its about time that the senate makes it a law that any judge who doesn’t abide by the law should be held accountable. That law does not pertain to certain states but our country.
Just nuke it President Trump. You would be doing us all a big favor.
The sole purpose of attacking DHS facilities where ICE raids are planned is to keep ICE so busy they won’t be arresting illegals. That’s it. Shut down the funding and put the protesters in jail and the raids will re-commence in full force. Illegals are part of the commiecrat ballot harvesting operation on the west coast and interruption of that will not be allowed.
We’re being set up for a trap. If they label Antifa ‘terrorists’ you know they will do the same to the Proud Boys,oath keepers, tea party activists and all Maga people who attend a rally that gets “violent”
They crossed hat bridge YEARS ago. Parents protesting at school boards about trannies and groomers? Terrorists!
Our problem is we unilaterally disarm and claim our “principles” prevent us from doing things. Meanwhile, the Democrats’ principles to put us in prison and shoot us dead march unimpeded.
🎯💯
And the “Law Enforcement” in these cities that sit by and watch their Antifa thugs beat innocent people should be arrested.
I wonder how many who wear a uniform or sit in a government building in Portland belong to Antifa
But the district judge is slow walking removal of her order.
In the end, they will lose. They know they will lose. So they are effectively putting sand in the gears in the process.
To delay is to deny
Sundance, what’s your take on the article over on American Thinker “Sanctuary Cities, Drug Cartels, and No Kings” and how, if true, that might fit into the various explanations you’ve provided over the years for why DC is the way it is (and by extension, why blue cities are the way they are, especially PDX and Antifa). Thx. Question is stimulated by the comment from Recalcitrant Refusnik.
Another win from Trump term 1. Trump appointments to the 9th Circuit means it is no longer a left wing rubber stamp.
MAGA
If you are conservative right leaning or even a middle of the road journalist, transtifa has you on a HIT LIST.
“ Antifa has created a ‘hit list’ of journalists, live streamers, and conservative activists who are posted on flyers outside the Portland ICE facility.
The flyers urge their protester comrades to “be on the lookout” for the individuals mentioned.
Those featured on the flyers include journalists who attended the Antifa roundtable at the White House, such as myself, @camhigby, @nicksortor, @nickshirleyy, and @choeshow.
As well as other independent journalists , streamers, and activists including @hunnybadgermom, @angertab, @OreoExpress, @RealBlackRebel_, @RightSideR3bel, and others.”
Oregonian reporting on Portland ICE
-Andy Ngo
“ This is how the @Oregonian does propaganda for the far-left. Violating ethical guidelines, they interview and elevate unverified claims by activists who explicitly seek to be arrested on camera.”
Mentioned on previous page update, ANTIFA camp cleared(at taxpayer expense).
“ Portland (Oct. 21) — At cost to taxpayers, the city cleared up the far-left encampment near ICE. This had been done at least 5 times before. The rioters have a nearby storage space & safehouse where they will move stuff out again. Video by @VenturaReport”
And just like every week this is done, they immediately rebuild. Clingon terrorists.
“ Here they are setting up the encampment again down next to ICE in Portland. The city clears it and then the protestors immediately set it up again. This happens every single week.”
Nick Sortor has a few vids on this too from this morning.
And this one takes the cake for the Peoples Republic of Portland hypocrasy defined!
(Also mentioned on previous page but this is a new article by Andy NGO)
“ The City of Portland is using taxpayer funds to help an open borders and illegal migrant support nonprofit move into an office space near the ICE facility that has been attacked for months. Read:”
It’s in the block between SW Moody and SW Bond st, same block of Chandler’s apartment(trust fund kid living in ground level apartment used extensively by ANTIFA for bathroom, organizing and trans furry follies.
This is Chandler’s apartment. Trust fund kid who gets to live on ground floor apartment used as home base for trans-ANTIFA activism and organization.
First look inside. Good job Nick Sorter 😉
This is another problem with the judicial branch.
The first issue is ‘traffic court’ judges making judgments of presidential decisions that are obviously on their face legal – especially when it involves matters of national security or the president’s PRIMARY responsibility, which is to enforce the law.
The second is that when one of them is smacked down on appeal, it only applies to that single judge’s decision – in the meantime effectively the exact same order remains in place across the country that other judges wrote.
The way it should work is when an upper court rules on a matter (in this case the President CAN use the NG in order to enforce the law when it, in his opinion, can’t be done by regular police forces), then it should apply to ALL the lower court judges’ decisions and they ALL should be overridden/suspended.
Further, when it involves cases of enforcing the law, it should automatically be suspended until the appeals process is complete, as the greater damage is the PUBLIC being subjected to criminal activity is greater than any potential damage to a governor’s or mayor’s ego from not getting their way.
