A federal judge in Oregon on Sunday blocked a move by President Donald Trump to deploy members of the California National Guard or any other state’s National Guard to Oregon after a judge temporarily blocked him from deploying the Beaver State’s own guardsmen to Portland in an earlier ruling.

In a temporary decision in response to a lawsuit from Oregon and California Gov. Gavin Newsom, federal Judge Karin J. Immergut blocked the administration from deploying National Guard to the city.
