Overview

• A three-judge Ninth Circuit panel on Wednesday granted an administrative stay that leaves roughly 200 Oregon National Guard troops federalized but not deployed.
• The court said the stay preserves the status quo and does not reflect a decision on the merits of the administration’s bid for a broader stay pending appeal.
• Oral arguments on the administration’s appeal are scheduled for Thursday at 9 a.m. before the Ninth Circuit.
• U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut had issued a temporary restraining order blocking the Oregon deployment and later blocked an attempt to use California Guard troops in Oregon.
• The appeals panel noted that the second restraining order barring deployments in Oregon has not been challenged in this appeal and remains in effect.
