Newsweek: Donald Trump suffers another blow in National Guard deployment

The Trump administration suffered a legal blow on Friday afternoon when the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals stayed an order issued on October 20 by a federal appellate court ruling it could deploy 200 National Guard troops to Portland, Oregon, under federal control.\…

On October 20, a three-judge appeals court ruled that Trump could federalize 200 National Guard troops for deployment to Portland, with two Trump-appointed judges in favor, while one Bill Clinton appointee was opposed.

However, on Friday, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals granted a stay preventing this from coming into effect until 5 p.m. on October 28 at the earliest, while the court decides whether to reconsider the case. The matter could now appear before a so-called en banc review, made up of 11 judges.

Guardian: Trump tariffs derailed by law firm that received money from his richest backers

Previous backers of libertarian Liberty Justice Center include billionaires Robert Mercer and Richard Uihlein

Donald Trump’s tariff policy was derailed by a libertarian public interest law firm that has received money from some of his richest backers. The Liberty Justice Center filed a lawsuit against the US president’s “reciprocal” tariffs on behalf of five small businesses, which it said were harmed by the policy.

For its lawsuit against Trump’s tariffs, the Liberty Justice Center gathered five small businesses, including a wine company and a fish gear and apparel retailer, and argued that Trump overreached his executive authority and needed Congress’s approval to pass such broad tariffs.
