9th Circuit Reverses Trump Win After Feds Caught Lying to Court
In a recent legal battle over the use of National Guard troops, the Trump administration initially secured a win when a 9th Circuit panel stayed a temporary restraining order issued by a U.S. District Judge. However, the victory was short-lived as Oregon attorneys alerted the appellate court to a factual error, revealing the government exaggerated the number of federal officers deployed. The court relied on the inaccurate information, but the 9th Circuit swiftly paused the panel’s stay of the first restraining order. This occurred after the government admitted that the number of troops used was significantly less than originally claimed.
