Trial kicks off to decide whether Trump legally deployed troops to Portland |
A trial will begin today to determine whether President Trump lawfully ordered the National Guard to Portland, Oregon, to quell protests in a key test of his push to use the military to enforce domestic law. Here's what to know: |
- The trial before U.S. District Judge Karen Immergut, who previously ruled that the action was likely not justified, is expected to last three days.
- The judge will decide whether protests at an immigration facility in the city constituted a rebellion or prevented federal agents from enforcing the law, justifying the troop deployment. Read more legal analysis here.
- Court filings by each side paint starkly different pictures of the protests, which began in June and have centered on an immigration detention facility in Portland.
- DOJ lawyers said in a court filing that protesters have thrown rocks at officers, blocked entry to the ICE facility and engaged in vandalism. The filing said federal officers protecting the site are stretched thin and accused Portland police of mounting an inadequate response. Read the filing here.
- Oregon's lawyers countered in their filing that the protests were relatively minor and do not appear to have impeded immigration enforcement. They said the protests did not require a major police response and that the federal government has ample resources to contain them. Read the filing here.

"I am getting video that the plaintiffs file, I'm getting videos that citizens send in. And at least in the videos that I see, knowing that I am not there, it is difficult for me to see that the force being used is necessary to stop an immediate and serious threat of physical harm."
