Overview

• U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut issued temporary restraining orders that currently bar the federal government from deploying National Guard troops to Oregon, including those mobilized from other states.
• The Ninth Circuit scheduled oral arguments for 9 a.m. Thursday on the administration’s request to stay the restraining order so deployments can proceed during the litigation.
• California Attorney General Rob Bonta filed new evidence urging the court to lift its June stay of a separate injunction and to block federalization, citing an expanded mission and prior Posse Comitatus findings.
• Hundreds of federalized California National Guard members have already been transported to the Portland Air National Guard base despite the ongoing court fight.
• President Trump said he would consider invoking the Insurrection Act if courts prevent him from sending the National Guard to Portland.
