Overview

• U.S. District Judge Karin J. Immergut issued a 14-day temporary restraining order blocking the federalization of 200 Oregon National Guard troops through October 18.
• Her opinion said Oregon and Portland are likely to show the president exceeded his authority and that Portland’s protests did not present a “danger of a rebellion.”
• The White House quickly filed notice of appeal, arguing the deployment is lawful to protect federal personnel and facilities.
• Separately, the president authorized 300 Illinois National Guard members for Chicago over Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s objections after DHS reported CBP agents fired “defensive shots” during a vehicle-ramming incident.
• DHS identified the wounded driver as Marimar Martinez, said she is in FBI custody, and authorities reported additional federal charges tied to the confrontation, as protests and federal crowd-control actions continued in both cities.
