The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has decided to take more time to consider whether to rehear arguments regarding the deployment of Oregon National Guard troops to Portland.
A recent order issued by the court has put on hold a previous ruling that allowed the deployment of troops. This decision comes as part of a larger legal battle over President Donald Trump's plan to send hundreds of National Guard troops to protect a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Portland, which has been the site of protests.
The court's order will allow a broader group of appeals judges to decide whether to rehear the case.
No statement from the judges was provided.
