The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has decided to take more time to consider whether to rehear arguments on the matter.
A recent ruling allowing Oregon National Guard troops to be sent into Portland has been put on hold. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals issued a stay on Friday, overturning a previous order from a panel of three judges within the circuit.
The decision is part of an ongoing legal battle over President Donald Trump's plan to deploy hundreds of National Guard troops to protect a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Portland, which has been the target of protests.
No statement from the judges was provided.
The order will allow a broader group of appeals judges to decide whether to rehear the case.
