Overview

• A three-judge Ninth Circuit panel issued an administrative stay that keeps Oregon National Guard members federalized but blocks their deployment into Portland while the appeal proceeds.
• U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut’s separate order barring any National Guard deployments from any state into Oregon remains in effect for now.
• California asked the Ninth Circuit to lift a prior stay in its Los Angeles case, arguing federalized Guard units were used for drug raids in Riverside County, a show-of-force at MacArthur Park, and out-of-state deployments.
• In a new filing, California reported the administration redeployed 14 California Guard soldiers to Illinois and said federal officials intend to extend control over 300 California Guard members through Jan. 31.
• DOJ and the Defense Department told the appeals court that district court limits improperly intrude on the commander in chief and risk federal personnel, as Illinois officials filed suit to block Guard deployments to Chicago.
