The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has decided to take more time to consider whether to rehear arguments on the matter of deploying 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 series of legal actions related to the potential deployment of 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 is intended to allow a broader group of appeals judges to decide whether to rehear the case, which was initially decided by a panel of three judges.
No statement from the judges was provided regarding the reasoning behind the decision.
