Overview

  • U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut expanded her earlier ruling late Sunday to block deployment of federalized National Guard members from any state into Oregon.
  • Court filings referenced a Pentagon memo from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth calling up to 400 Texas Guard members for use in Oregon, Illinois and other cities, and a Pentagon spokesperson said about 200 federalized California Guard were being reassigned to Portland.
  • The order is scheduled to remain in effect until Oct. 19, with a hearing set for Oct. 17 to consider an extension and separate preliminary injunction arguments slated for Oct. 29.
  • The White House authorized up to 300 Illinois National Guard members for Chicago to protect federal personnel and property, and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said he authorized additional Guard call-ups.
  • Illinois and the City of Chicago filed suit Monday to halt federalization and deployments in the state, naming President Trump and senior officials, as governors in Oregon and California denounced the moves and Portland protests continued outside an ICE facility.
