A Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruling Monday will allow the Trump administration to deploy National Guard troops in Portland, saying it is likely to succeed on its appeal of an order that blocked the deployment.

The appellate court ruling — an important legal victory in a showdown over presidential power that’s happening on multiple fronts — grants the administration’s motion to stay the lower court’s order blocking the deployment while the appeal plays out.

The three-judge panel weighed in after US District Judge Karin Immergut last week ruled to extend her temporary restraining order barring the deployment of federal troops to Portland.

“Regardless of what happens next, Oregon (Department of Justice) will continue to fight to uphold Oregon’s laws and the Constitution,” Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield said in a social media post Wednesday.

The president has cited protests outside Portland’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility to justify the callups of troops in the deep blue city.

The ruling comes as President Donald Trump on Sunday threatened to send the National Guard to San Francisco as his administration continues an effort to crackdown on a growing list of cities it claims to be ridden with crime.

“San Francisco was truly one of the great cities of the world, and then 15 years ago it went wrong, it went woke,” Trump said during an interview with Fox News anch
