Attorneys offered closing arguments on Oct. 31 in a three-day trial over whether President Donald Trump validly invoked a federal law for using the National Guard in Portland, Oregon.
Under 10 U.S.C. Section 12406, the president can call into service National Guard members under various conditions—including a rebellion, danger of rebellion, or inability to execute the law. U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut is expected to issue a judgment as to whether those conditions were met.
