United Homes Group stock plunges after Nikki Haley, directors resign
Investing.com -- A divided U.S. appeals court ruled on Monday that President Donald Trump can deploy National Guard troops to Portland, Oregon, despite opposition from local and state leaders.
The court in San Francisco lifted an earlier order that had blocked the deployment of 200 Oregon National Guard members to Portland. This decision represents a significant legal victory for Trump as his administration expands military deployments to Democratic-led cities.
The Republican president has claimed Portland is "burning to the ground," though the court noted this assertion was made without evidence. Trump’s administration has framed the deployment as necessary to counter protests against his immigration policies.
The ruling comes as Trump continues to dispatch military forces to an increasing number of Democratic-led locations across the country, despite objections from local leadership.
The court’s decision was not unanimous, reflecting the contentious nature of the federal government’s authority to deploy troops over the objections of state and local officials.
