The decision late on Sunday comes after the same court denied Trump's attempt to deploy Oregon's own National Guard members to Portland.

Portland is the latest Democratic-led city targeted as part of the president's attempt to address what he says is out-of-control crime, amid protests over his administration's immigration enforcement.

Trump has also authorised the deployment of National Guard troops from other states to Chicago, Illinois.

The ruling on Sunday from US District Judge Karin Immergut came shortly after the Pentagon confirmed 200 members of the California National Guard had been reassigned to Portland to "support US Immigration and Customs Enforcement and other federal personnel performing official duties".
