State of Oregon v. Trump

FOR PUBLICATION FILED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS NOV 19 2025 MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK U.S. COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT STATE OF OREGON; CITY OF Nos. 25-6268, 25-7194 PORTLAND; STATE OF CALIFORNIA, D.C. No. 3:25-cv-01756-IM Plaintiffs - Appellees, District of Oregon, Portland v. ORDER DONALD J. TRUMP, in his official capacity as President of the United States; PETER HEGSETH, in his official capacity as Secretary of Defense; UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE; KRISTI NOEM, in her official capacity as Secretary of Homeland Security; UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY, Defendants - Appellants. MURGUIA, Chief Judge: Appeal Nos. 25-6268 and 25-7194 are consolidated. The court has received the government’s emergency motion for stay pending appeal in Appeal No. 25-7194. Docket Entry No. 6. The request for a partial administrative stay is granted. The district court’s November 7, 2025, permanent injunction is temporarily stayed to the extent that it enjoins the federalization of the Oregon National Guard pending further order of the court. The court’s administrative stay “is only intended to preserve the status quo until the substantive motion for a stay pending appeal can be considered on the merits, and does not constitute in any way a decision as to the merits” of the appeal. See Doe #1 v. Trump, 944 F.3d 1222, 1223 (9th Cir. 2019). The government is directed to file weekly status reports regarding the current status of any federalized Oregon National Guard, including updates on the defederalization of any troops. Briefing on the government’s emergency motion for stay pending appeal is stayed pending the United States Supreme Court’s ruling on the government’s application for a stay in Trump v. Illinois, No. 25A443. Once the Supreme Court rules in that matter, this court will promptly set an expedited briefing schedule to allow for consideration of the emergency motion for stay pending appeal. The principal briefing schedules currently in place are vacated and will be reset upon further order of the court. 2 25-6268, 25-7194
