A federal appeals court on Monday said President Trump may deploy the National Guard across Oregon for now, a boon to his efforts to send troops into several Democratic-led cities.

The 2-1 ruling from a three-judge panel on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit lifts a lower court order halting Trump’s deployment of National Guard members while the administration’s appeal is resolved.

The court previously let Trump resume control of Oregon’s National Guard.

"Rather than reviewing the President’s determination with great deference, the district court substituted its own determination of the relevant facts and circumstances,” the unsigned order read.
