Judge to rule on Trump's Portland troop deployment legality

Judge to rule on Trump's Portland troop deployment legality

A judge named Karin Immergut has to decide if President Trump was allowed to send soldiers to a city called Portland.

The President's lawyers said that bad people were causing a lot of trouble and hurting government workers, so the soldiers were needed.

But the people from Portland and the state of Oregon said that most of the trouble was small and the police could handle it.

They believe the President might be using his power in a way that's not allowed by the rules.

The judge blocked the soldiers for now, but will soon make a final decision that could even go to the highest court in the country.
