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.

Even if Trump exaggerates the severity of Portland’s protests on social media, “this does not change that other facts provide a colorable basis to support the statutory requirements,” the majority said in the ruling.
