Antifa has not yet been sufficiently violent in Portland, Oregon, that anyone other than sympathetic Portland police officers should be deployed to contain it, according to a federal judge.
In a Sunday night ruling, U.S. District Court Judge Karin J. Immergut blocked the deployment of the National Guard, which President Donald Trump wanted to patrol the streets of violence-racked Portland to protect federal immigration agents who have been the subjects of months of violent protests.
The judge, nominated by Trump, gave the city of Portland and the states of Oregon and California a preliminary injunction that will be in effect until her Friday ruling, according to KATU.
Immergut’s injunction tips her hand that she is likely to rule against Trump.
