00:00A federal judge in Oregon on Sunday temporarily blocked President Donald Trump's administration

00:06from sending any National Guard troops to police Portland.

00:09The ruling by U.S. District Judge Karen Emmergut came just one day after she temporarily blocked

00:14Trump from deploying 200 Oregon National Guard troops to the city, saying that protests there

00:20did not warrant a military presence.

00:22The administration then moved to call in troops from California and Texas, which Judge Emmergut

00:28blocked on Sunday, saying that, quote, nothing had changed since her earlier ruling.

00:34National Guard troops are state-based militia forces that answer to their governors, except

00:38when called into federal service.

00:40Trump has said their deployment to Portland is necessary to respond to protests at an

00:44immigration facility in the city, which continued on Sunday evening.

00:49Emmergut's ruling will remain in effect until at least October 19th.

00:53That means the Trump administration will be blocked from sending National Guard troops from

00:57any state or Washington, D.C. to Portland, while Oregon and California seek a longer-term

01:03ruling in court.

01:04The ruling is a setback for the president as he seeks to dispatch the military to cities

01:09over the objections of their Democratic leaders.

01:12There was no immediate comment from the White House or Pentagon on the latest court ruling.

01:17Earlier Sunday, Trump said Judge Emmergut should be ashamed of Saturday's decision.
