"On Friday, October 24, US District Judge Karin Immergut said she'll issue a decision no later than Monday on whether to lift a temporary restraining order barring out-of-state National Guard troops from deploying to Oregon. A restraining order remains in effect until Wednesday, but attorneys for the federal government asked for the order to be lifted immediately."
""The court is taking the time it needs to weigh this unprecedented issue. The stakes are high - for the Constitution, for Oregon's sovereignty, and for the safety of our communities," Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield said in a statement issued by his office following a Friday morning district court hearing. "Regardless of how the court rules, this fight is not over. Next week we will move to trial on the merits, where we will put on evidence proving that this deployment is unnecessary and unlawful.""
""I don't see any basis to deprive the 9th Circuit's stay order ... by keeping the overlapping second [restraining order] in place," Roth said. "I'm not sure how much more clear the court could be about the fact that we had met our burden to show we were entitled to a stay of the order.""
US District Judge Karin Immergut will issue a decision by Monday on whether to lift a temporary restraining order that bars out-of-state National Guard troops from deploying to Oregon. The existing restraining order remains in effect until Wednesday while federal attorneys have asked for an immediate lift, citing a 9th Circuit ruling that allowed activation and deployment of Oregon National Guard troops. Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield emphasized constitutional and sovereignty stakes and pledged a trial on the merits next week to prove the deployment unnecessary and unlawful. DOJ counsel argued the temporary order should be dissolved in light of the 9th Circuit stay.
