Overview

• U.S. District Judge Karin J. Immergut heard arguments on a temporary restraining order and said she will rule by the end of Friday or early Saturday on Oregon and Portland’s bid to block the federalized Guard call‑up.
• Immergut pressed Justice Department lawyers on using a June 7 memo and President Trump’s post to justify action under 10 U.S.C. §12406, as state and city attorneys argued recent on‑the‑ground unrest has been limited.
• The White House said it is reviewing federal funding to Portland and will immediately surge CBP and ICE resources, as the administration maintains the Guard would protect federal property and not perform police functions.
• The Justice Department confirmed it will conduct a wide probe of the Portland Police Bureau after officers arrested conservative influencer Nick Sortor during protests; three people were booked on disorderly conduct charges.
• Federal authorities reported 28 arrests at Portland’s ICE facility since June for offenses including assault on officers and property damage, and DOJ separately asked Judge Michael H. Simon to recuse from the case over concerns about the appearance of partiality.
