    Update: Judge blocks Trump's Guard deployments to Oregon, including 300 from California

    In the latest development, a federal judge in Oregon temporarily blocked the Trump administration from sending any National Guard troops to Oregon, including out-of-state units, after the administration moved Sunday to dispatch 300 California Guard members to Portland [npr.org#9][washingtonpost.com#10][abcnews.go.com#21][pbs.org#12][chicagotribune.com#20]. The expanded order followed an earlier Saturday ruling that halted federalization of Oregon’s own Guard and sets up fresh legal battles as California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Oregon’s attorney general prepared court challenges while the Justice Department plans an appeal [pbs.org#14][latimes.com#5][thehill.com#22][nypost.com#4]. President Trump criticized the judge, whom he appointed during his first term, as the administration also pursued
