Overview
- U.S. District Judge Karin J. Immergut late Sunday widened her temporary restraining order to block any federalized National Guard units, including those from California and Texas, from deploying to Oregon through October 18.
- Hearings are set for October 17 on extending the order and October 29 on a request for a preliminary injunction, as the administration files notice to appeal to the Ninth Circuit.
- The White House authorized 300 Illinois National Guard members to be federalized for Chicago to protect federal officers and assets, a move opposed by Gov. J.B. Pritzker, who said he was given an ultimatum to call up the troops or the administration would.
- DHS said Customs and Border Protection agents in Chicago fired defensive shots after vehicles rammed federal officers; the woman who was shot, identified as Marimar Martinez, and another person are in custody and facing federal charges, according to officials.
- Protests outside Portland’s ICE facility continued, with federal agents deploying tear gas, pepper balls and flash bangs; Portland police reported no crimes or arrests by local officers during Saturday’s demonstration.
