The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has decided to take more time to consider whether to rehear arguments on the matter.
A recent ruling allowing Oregon National Guard troops to be sent into Portland has been put on hold, as judges review the matter more closely.
On Friday, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals stayed the order issued on Monday by a panel of three judges within the circuit, to allow a broader group of appeals judges to decide whether to rehear the case.
This order is the latest development in a series of legal actions related to the deployment of hundreds of National Guard troops to protect a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Portland, which has been the focus of protests.
No statement from the judges was provided.
