Oregon and California have National Guard troops stationed outside Portland's city limits, but it's unclear what impact this ruling will immediately have on the ground.

The Ninth Circuit's 2-1 decision applies to just one of two temporary restraining orders blocking deployment of troops from both Oregon and other states.

Oregon Governor Tina Kotek said that the state will continue to fight in courts to block troops from being stationed outside the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Facility.

The ICE facility in Portland has been the site of protests since June.

Most of the protests have been nonviolent.

The governor and local law enforcement say military intervention in Oregon is not needed.
