"This administrative order expresses no views on the merits of this matter and is not a reconsideration of the earlier stay order."
"This decision gives the court time to fully consider the serious constitutional questions at stake."
"It also ensures there won't be a federal deployment while that process plays out-an important step in protecting Oregonians' rights and keeping our communities safe."
The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals issued an order pausing any deployment of National Guard troops to Portland until Tuesday evening, October 28. The order was issued while a separate court's decision on out-of-state troop deployment remained pending and effectively removed the need for an immediate district court ruling because the temporary restraining order is set to expire on Wednesday. Federal attorneys sought immediate lifting of the order and a hearing occurred Friday. The order temporarily freezes an earlier ruling allowing Oregon National Guard activation. The filing states the order does not address merits, and officials emphasize constitutional questions and community safety.
