At least two Trump-appointed judges on a three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals appeared ready Thursday to lift an order barring the Trump administration from sending Oregon National Guard troops to Portland.
During their questioning in the 73-minute hearing, 9th Circuit Judges Bridget S. Bade and Ryan D. Nelson were critical of Oregon Judge Karin J. Immergut’s decision to restrict President’s Trump’s assessment of conditions at Portland’s ICE field office to what was happening there in September instead of earlier in the summer.
