The U.S. Army announced the deployment of approximately 200 National Guard troops from California to Portland, Oregon, at the direction of President Donald Trump. The Pentagon's announcement was released after a federal court on Saturday barred the president from sending Oregon-based National Guard troops to Portland, with the judge noting there is no evidence that recent protests in the area justify such a move. It now appears to be a maneuver aimed at circumventing the ruling by sending troops from another state.
