A U.S. appeals court has ruled that President Donald Trump can take command of 200 Oregon National Guard troops. He's still barred from actually deploying those troops — at least for now. A panel from the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 2-1 Monday to put on hold an order that kept Trump from taking command of the troops. Another order prohibits Trump from sending any Guard troops to Oregon at all. The administration is now asking for that order to be dissolved. Oregon's attorney general said he would ask a broader appeals court panel to reconsider the ruling.
