Live from NPR News in New York City, I'm Duahli Saikautau. A federal judge in Oregon has temporarily blocked the Trump administration from deploying the National Guard to Portland. Judge Karen Intergood, a Trump appointee, said the government didn't meet the threshold for declaring recent ongoing protests outside an ICE facility in Portland, quote, a rebellion. The judge granted the city and the Oregon Department of Justice a temporary restraining order. Here's Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield.
We're in an incredibly dangerous place in America right now. And today's ruling is an important wake-up call for the United States president. No president is allowed to make up facts or rely on social media trolling or posts when deploying the United States military in our cities.
The Trump administration could appeal, as it has in similar cases across the country. Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he hopes Hamas will return all remaining hostages by the end of an upcoming Jewish holiday, October 13th. As part of a proposal put forth by President Trump, Israel would then end the war. But as NPR's Emily Fang reports, there are still big questions remaining over the durability of any ceasefire.
The return of the hostages is the first step in a U.S. peace plan. Netanyahu said the second phase of a peace plan would see Hamas disarmed voluntarily or by force if needed, something Hamas has not explicitly agreed to. And at a weekly anti-war protest in Tel Aviv on Saturday, regular demonstrators like Gabriela Goldschmidt worried negotiations would fall through again. Yes, there is hope, but it's a very cautious hope. because we don't know what kinds of tricks Netanyahu has in his pocket. And she fretted that her government would find a reason to end another ceasefire.
What legal ruling has impacted the deployment of the National Guard in Portland?

As the government shutdown continues, national parks remain affected by the lack of funding. In Parazelana Wise reports, across the country, parks have been forced to maneuver around the funding crisis.
Some parks have drastically reduced staffing, some have called for outside funding, and some have closed completely. A contingency plan for the Park Service says that park roads, lookouts, and trails will generally remain accessible to visitors. But other services, such as road and trail condition updates, would not be provided. At closed park locations, services will be stripped to the bone, meaning no trash collection, restrooms, road maintenance, or visitor information. In the past, skeleton operations have led to vandalism at parks as well as major sanitation and ecological issues. As a result, some park advocates have called for all parks to be closed until the shutdown concludes. Alana Wise, NPR News.
And you are listening to NPR from New York City. A veteran Ukrainian journalist who co-founded a project focused on anti-corruption investigations of government officials has died. The wife of Olexa Shalaisky confirmed his death to colleagues and said he died of natural causes at the age of 58. The Ukrainian media watchdog group Institute of Mass Information said Shelesky was the voice of conscience, intolerant injustice, and stood firmly for society's right to know the truth. His Nashi Groshi investigative project led to a number of criminal probes and wrongdoings by Ukrainian officials. The police union in Charlotte, North Carolina, says it will ask the National Guard to be deployed to fight violent crime.
Gwendolyn Glenn has more.
In a letter this week, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Fraternal Order of Police said their request stems from a shortage of police. and an increase in violent crime over the past few months. Since July, there have been 25 homicides in Charlotte, including the killing of Ukrainian refugee Irina Juraska in August on a local rail train. Her death attracted national attention, and President Trump called for the death penalty for her attacker.
