The Trump administration notched itself an illusory victory in federal court this week in one of the ongoing legal battles over the federal use of state National Guard troops to police American cities.
On Monday, a three-judge panel on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit, in a 2-1 ruling, stayed a temporary restraining order (TRO) issued by U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut, who was appointed by President Donald Trump during his first term in office.
By Friday, the full 9th Circuit administratively stayed the panel’s own stay – “[w]ithout objection from the panel,” an order notes.
Trump deployed National Guard troops to Oregon. Oregon sued for an emergency restraining order to stop him. The court issued the restraining order. Asked to review the finding of issuing the restraining order, the initial court that issued the restraining order decided that, upon further review, it should stand because the Trump admin lied.
