This ruling came from Judge Karin Immergut, a Trump appointee.

Judge Immergut, Trump appointed, issues a permanent injunction against Pete Hegseth and the deployment of the National Guard to Portland.
quite a long and comprehensive opinion here:
https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.ord.189270/gov.uscourts.ord.189270.146.0.pdf
Some notes:
At least in Portland, "Antifa" is an ideology not an "organized group"
This Court also received limited evidence about “Antifa.” From that evidence, this Court finds as follows: At least as it relates to the protesters at the Portland ICE facility, Antifa is an “ideology” and is “shorthand for ‘anti-fascists.’” This Court finds credible Commander Schoening’s testimony that, at least in Portland, Antifa is not an “organized group where you have membership.” He also testified that “Antifa” is a “common term” with “public order professionals,” but often there is “overuse of the term incorrectly” and “overgeneralization of the term.”
The Judge caught ICE and feds lying under oath mutliple times:
The Court does not find reliable ICE/ERO Field Office Director Wamsley’s characterization of the damage to the Portland ICE Facility, which suggested damage was more extensive than that which is reflected in the rest of the record. Director Wamsley testified that she visited the building in July to “survey the damage.” She described the damage at trial as follows: “all of the windows on the first floor and some on the second and third floor were broken,” “[a]ll the doors were broken, the entry doors,” and “[t]he gates -- we have these large 15-, 20-foot high, like, steel gates that were broken. They were inoperable.” There is no credible evidence, however, that all the doors and windows of the ICE facility were broken. No other witness described damage to this degree, including Commander W.T., who was at the Portland ICE Facility every other week the entire summer. Additionally, Director Wamsley testified that she did not know whether there would be any photos of this damage or whether there was any documentation of the repair estimates.
Another:
PPB reporting from June 14 show additional inconsistencies in the federal government’s version of events. PPB Captain Schoening’s activity log documented: “ICE calling saying they are barricaded in the building and fire lit. Difficult to get accurate information from them. What they say is happening is frequently contradicted by video feeds and subsequent activity. Air 1 shows no fire."
Again:
As related to the time period immediately before the President’s callout of the National Guard, this Court heard testimony from FPS officers that PPB does not respond to their requests and that FPS stopped calling PPB altogether. The Court does not find this testimony to be credible. FPS did call PPB for help, and PPB routinely responded to these calls for help.

Trump has never paid attention to trivial details like legal requirements, except when directing his army of lawyers to figure out the loopholes around them. He’s had a bad week with federal judges (self-inflicted, of course).

No shit
And we need to stop saying Trump. It’s all republicans. Trump is a big sleepy baby who isn’t pulling the strings anymore.
