Live from NPR News, I'm Dale Willman. A federal judge has blocked the Trump administration from deploying any National Guard units to Oregon. NPR's Matt Bloom reports on the latest ruling in a legal back and forth over federal troops in the city.
This ruling comes after the same judge temporarily blocked the administration from deploying Oregon National Guard troops to Portland on Saturday. The next day, the president responded by ordering National Guard troops from neighboring California to the city. But in a telephone hearing Sunday night, U.S. District Judge Karen Emmergut granted a new temporary restraining order sought by both California and Oregon, saying she saw no legal basis for the military to assist local law enforcement on the ground in Portland. While Trump has called the West Coast city war-ravaged amid ongoing ICE protests, Oregon officials say local law enforcement is capable of handling the response. Matt Bloom, NPR News.
The Supreme Court begins its October term this week, and a number of cases before the justices involve the standard the court set last term concerning the scope of presidential power. NPR's Kerry Johnson.
One case involves the president sweeping tariffs. Two others involve the firing of a Democratic commissioner at the Federal Trade Commission and Trump's attempt to fire Lisa Cook on the Federal Reserve Board. There are a few more cases on the emergency docket now that could get a full hearing from the Supreme Court. A White House spokeswoman, Abigail Jackson, says the Supreme Court has consistently upheld the Trump administration's policies despite an unprecedented number of legal challenges. She says the president will continue to carry out the policy agenda the voters elected him to pursue and that he will be vindicated by higher courts.
That's NPR's national justice correspondent, Kerry Johnson.

And you're listening to NPR News. The family of a man who died in the July 4th flooding on the Guadalupe River in Texas has filed a lawsuit against the RV park where he was staying. Texas Public Radio's Jerry Clayton reports.
Jeff Ramsey's family claims HTRTX Hill Country RV Park and Campground was negligent during the flood, causing the death of the 61-year-old who died alongside his wife, Tanya. The suit alleges the owners and U.S. operators of the campground knowingly placed guests in a high-risk flood area, leaving the couple unable to escape their camper as the floodwaters rose. Ramsey's body has not been recovered. It's the latest legal action taken against entities along the hardest-hit areas of the flood that left more than 130 people dead. In August, the parents of another victim at the RV park filed a similar suit with several more families joining. Texas recently passed legislation that will require warning sirens in areas prone to flash floods.
