A trial beginning Wednesday in Portland, Oregon will determine whether President Donald Trump lawfully ordered the National Guard to the city to quell protests.
A federal judge will decide whether protests at an immigration facility in the city constituted a rebellion or prevented federal agents from enforcing the law, justifying the troop deployment, in what appears to be the first time the use of the law has been tested in a trial.
The deployment was a rare break with a centuries-old taboo against using troops on American soil.
The City of Portland and the Oregon attorney general’s office sued the Trump administration and accused it of acting unlawfully by moving to deploy troops, based on exaggerated claims of violence at protests against Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigration.
Portland is one of several Democrat-led cities, also including Los Angeles and Chicago, where Trump, a Republican, has deployed troops in recent months in response to what he describes as out-of-control protests disrupting the work of federal immigration agents.
The Portland case will go to trial without a jury before U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut.
