Overview
- U.S. District Judge Karin J. Immergut issued a preliminary injunction barring a National Guard deployment to Portland through Oct. 18, finding no evidence of an uprising and saying local police can manage protests.
- After Oregon reported that 101 California Guard members had been moved toward Portland, Immergut issued a second order blocking the transfer of California troops to the city.
- Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker said the Pentagon gave him an ultimatum to mobilize the Illinois Guard or the federal government would, as the White House ordered 300 Guard members to Chicago to protect federal officers and property.
- Oregon and California officials condemned the Portland moves as unlawful and announced further legal action, while the administration signaled it would appeal the court orders.
- The Department of Homeland Security said federal agents shot an armed woman during protests in the Chicago area, reporting no injuries to federal officers.
