The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has agreed to reconsider its decision to allow the Trump administration to deploy 200 federalized members of the Oregon National Guard to Portland, potentially setting the stage for a landmark constitutional battle that could reach the Supreme Court.

President Donald Trump called Portland “war ravaged” and described Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facilities as being “under siege from attack by Antifa, and other domestic terrorists” when he announced that he was sending troops to the city.
