Washington — A federal appeals court on Monday cleared the way for the Trump administration to mobilize and deploy members of the Oregon National Guard to Portland while a legal challenge moves forward.

A divided panel of three judges on U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit agreed to freeze a lower court order that had blocked the Trump administration from sending Oregon National Guard troops to Portland to protect federal immigration personnel and property.

In its 2-1 ruling, the majority found the Trump administration is likely to prevail on the merits of its appeal by establishing that President Trump lawfully invoked a law known as Title 10 to bring Oregon’s National Guard into federal service and send them to Portland.
