Federal judge bars Trump administration from sending any National Guard troops to Portland

Source: Oregon Capital Chronicle

Saying the Trump administration directly contravened her Saturday order blocking the federal government from mobilizing National Guard troops in Portland, a federal judge issued a broader order barring the federal government from relocating National Guard members to Oregon from any state.

Judge Karin Immergut, a Trump appointee, issued her temporary restraining order after 8 p.m. Sunday in a telephonic hearing. She said she was troubled to learn shortly before the hearing began that U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered 400 Texas National Guard troops to Oregon, Illinois and other locations.

"I see those as direct contravention of the order that this court issued yesterday," she said.

In her Saturday opinion, Immergut found that protests at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement processing facility in Portland were not by any definition a "rebellion" nor do they pose the "danger of a rebellion."

This is about the SECOND TRO that the judge issued. The first, issued Saturday, said Trump couldn't send National Guard till she held a hearing. The second, issued Sunday, expanded that order to CA and all other states.

And serve as a test case for their argument that District Judges shouldn’t have the power to issue nationwide restraining orders.

What is the status of that issue- I remember other complaints earlier about whether or not a judge has that much power -

In July, U.S. District Judge Leo Sorokin in Boston issued the third court ruling blocking the birthright order nationwide after a key Supreme Court decision in June. Less than two weeks later, a federal judge in Maryland also issued a nationwide preliminary injunction against the order. The issue is expected to move quickly back to the nation’s highest court.

The justices ruled in June that lower courts generally can’t issue nationwide injunctions, but they didn’t rule out other court orders that could have nationwide effects, including in class-action lawsuits and those brought by states.

A federal judge in New Hampshire later issued a ruling prohibiting Trump’s executive order from taking effect nationwide in a new class-action suit, and a San Francisco-based appeals court affirmed a different lower court’s nationwide injunction in a lawsuit that included state plaintiffs.
