9th Circuit reverses victory for Trump admin in National Guard case after feds get caught lying

By Friday, the full 9th Circuit administratively stayed the panel's own stay – "[w]ithout objection from the panel."

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 admin sends national guard
    • State sues to stop the troops from being sent
    • Court grants a temporary block on sending troops pending a final determination
    • Trump admin asks 9th Circuit to intervene and block the ruling that prevented them from sending troops, arguing that they needed to send 25% of all Federal Protection Service agents to safeguard ICE, which left others vulnerable, and that the national guard deployment would alleviate that problem.
    • Based partially on this 25% stat, 9th Circuit agrees to block the lower court’s temporary order preventing troops from being sent to Oregon. This did not stop the lawsuit, but did allow the troops to be sent while the lawsuit proceeded
    • Plaintiffs (state of Oregon) informed the 9th Circuit that the number of FPS agents sent at a single time was not 25% (actually closer to 7%), and requests that their decision be reversed. 9th Circuit reviews the situation and agrees, reinstating the temporary order that prevents the Trump admin from sending troops to Oregon

      They didn’t claim a low number of troops, they claimed a high number of Federal Protection Service officers. They claimed that they had to send 25% (115) of all protection officers to Portland to protect ICE and that demonstrates an inability to execute federal law. The actual peak number of protection officers deployed at any one time was 31.
