A federal appeals court on Oct. 28 threw out an order allowing President Donald Trump to deploy National Guard troops to deal with violence directed against federal immigration facilities in Portland, Oregon.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit also decided to hold an “en banc” hearing in the case known as State of Oregon v. Trump.
