PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) -- Reaction was swift after US District Judge Karin Immergut issued a temporary restraining order blocking federal troops from being deployed in Portland.

The order lasts through October 18.

Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield, who sued the Trump Administration after the National Guard deployment was announced, said:

“The court agreed with our position. Today’s ruling is a healthy check on the president. It reaffirms what we already knew: Portland is not the president’s war-torn fantasy. Our city is not ravaged, and there is no rebellion. The president must demonstrate an actual threat based on real facts if he wants to put the National Guard on our streets. Members of the Oregon National Guard are not a tool for him to use in his political theater.”
