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.

A fragile cease fire between Israel and Hamas appears to be back in place after the two sides accused each other of violating it. The Palestinian Health Ministry says dozens of civilians have been killed in airstrikes since Israel accused Hamas of killing two soldiers in the southern city of Rafah.

Zelensky made the comments during a closed door meeting with media that included npr. He said the Kremlin has long insisted that Ukraine withdraw from two eastern regions, Donetsk and Luhansk, which are partly controlled by Russia. Zelensky said Russian President Vladimir Putin wants these regions to show that he has, quote, won this war, but that Russia will attack Ukraine again. Zelensky seemed to downplay reports that his meeting with Trump in Washington on Friday was unusually tense, adding that Ukraine shares Trump's, quote, positive outlook to end the war. However, Zelensky did say that Trump appears to be giving Putin another chance after weeks of criticizing the Kremlin. Joanna Kakisis, NPR News, Kyiv.
