Federal Appeals Court Temporarily Bars Portland Troop Deployment
The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has stayed the order to deploy Oregon National Guard troops to Portland.
A panel of three judges had initially ruled in favor of the deployment, but the appeals court wants to rehear the arguments.

- The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals issued a stay on Friday, putting the deployment on hold.
- The court wants a broader group of judges to decide whether to rehear the matter.
