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 to 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 until.

That second temporary restraining order is rescinded. Troops cannot be deployed anywhere in Oregon at this point.

After decades of that gap, you know, kind of steadily getting closer and closer. Really, it had just kind of plateaued for a while. Honestly, we've seen this two year in a row reversal, and it's the first time since the 60s that that's happened. Clearly, there is kind of something in the water that is changing the trend from, you know, what we've been seeing for a really long time now.

That's Taylor Telford from the Washington Post. Demolition is underway at the White House to make way for a new ballroom. As NPR's Tamara Keith reports, parts of the East Wing are coming down even as the government shutdown drags on.
