U.S. District Court Judge Karin Immergut said late Sunday she would continue to block the Trump administration from deploying the National Guard to Oregon until Friday, Nov. 7 at 5 p.m.

The short-term preliminary injunction, issued late Sunday, came at a critical moment: Immergut’s temporary restraining order, which blocked any National Guard troops under the president’s authority from deploying anywhere in Oregon, was about to expire in a matter of hours.

The judge wrote she’s still in the “process of diligently reviewing all the evidence,” which includes hundreds of exhibits and additional arguments following the three-day trial that ended Friday afternoon.
