As a federal criminal defense lawyer, I deal with Judge Immmergut all the time. She’s usually the toughest judge for us in Oregon. But I have to give her full critical support at this time. This is doing a good job, this is what that looks like.

Do judges like it when you make them do court at 7pm on a Sunday

This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE ADJUTANT GENERAL, TEXAS NATIONAL GUARD THROUGH: THE GOVERNOR OF TEXAS SUBJECT: Calling Members of the Texas National Guard into Federal Service On June 7, 2025, the President of the United States called forth at least 2,000 National Guard personnel into Federal service pursuant to section 12406 of title 10, U.S. Code, to protect U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and other U.S. Government personnel who are performing Federal functions, including the enforcement of Federal law, and to protect Federal property, at locations where violent demonstrations against these functions are occurring or are likely to occur based on current threat assessments and planned operations. On October 4, 2025, the President determined that violent incidents, as well as the credible threat of continued violence, are impeding the execution of the laws of the United States in Illinois, Oregon, and other locations throughout the United States. The President has authorized me to coordinate with you on the mobilization of up to 400 members of the Texas National Guard under section 12406 of title 10, U.S. Code. The orders will be effective immediately for an initial period of 60 days, and be subject to extension, to perform federal protection missions where needed, including in the cities of Portland and Chicago. The Chief of the National Guard Bureau will immediately coordinate the details of the mobilization with you, in coordination with the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and Commander, U.S. Northern Command. The mobilized Service members will be under the command and control of the Commander, U.S. Northern Command.

Meanwhile, Hegseth issued a memorandum purporting to federalize members of the Texas national guard for deployment to Portland and Chicago.

The memorandum was just filed as an exhibit on the docket not too long ago. That could explain the delay re: hearing but unclear at the moment....🤷‍♀️

Judge Immergut then set a hearing for 7 pm PT/10 pm ET regarding the second motion for a restraining order.

There's a call-in line for the hearing, but a pre-recorded message is currently repeating "Waiting for your host to join" over and over again.

TBD if we'll get remote access to the hearing.

HAPPENING NOW: Emergency hearing before Judge Karin Immergut on Trump's effort to circumvent her temporary restraining order re: Oregon national guard deployment.

I plan to listen in for @lawfaremedia.org.

Follow along (court remote access technology permitting...) ⬇️🧵

Answer: 12406

'They Need to Suffer': Inside Trump's War on Dissent Donald Trump, Stephen Miller, and the rest of the administration are waging a furious crackdown on dissent following Charlie Kirk's assassination.

I’ve received multiple death threats + doxing (including my home address) directly following harassment from Turning Point USA, Jack Posobiec, Andy NGO, + Fox News which called me an antifa ‘financier.’

I have been forced to move my classes online.

If journalists want to talk, DM me or reply here.

There is no specific language in the Constitution that prohibits the president from using the National Guard to taunt his political opponents, so it's hard to imagine any reason for withdrawing troops from Chicago and Portland.

We're not at war with Venezuela, these boats are many hundreds of lines from our waters, much less our shores, there is no threat, this is just murder.

I really do think everyone from the SecDef to the guy who pushed the button should be tried for murder on this.

Oracle employees who expressed support for Palestine were "referred to internal mental health resources."

CPD just relieved feds from this line too. Then a moment later the feds gassed the whole area, including the cops.

Pritzker has been great. But these reports that IL state police are assisting ICE, harassing and beating people who record ICE, and helping arresting protesters all seem to be supported by some video. If state cops are helping feds suppress rights over governor’s objections, that’s a big problem.

Americans are ‘deer in the headlights’ in face of Trump assault on free speech, Maria Ressa tells Jon Stewart Nobel prize winner says US institutions have collapsed much quicker than expected under the Trump administration

The Nobel prize winner Maria Ressa has said Americans are like “deer in the headlights” amid the collapse of US institutions and free speech under the Trump administration, particularly after Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension.

They literally ran an article today -- about a 17yo tatertot deliberately driving into and killing two 17yo girls he was targeting -- with the headline "Was It Murder?", so the NYT seems to be losing its grip on crime in general.

They reportedly forced her to kiss an Israeli flag for their cameras ... wtf?

There are also lots of journalists who haven't mentioned Greta Thunberg being kidnapped and jailed in Israel (according to her lawyer in a cell full of bedbugs) along with hundreds of European activists.

Most journalism this week has been like, "Legal experts unsure whether Trump shooting man in middle of 5th Avenue is murder..."

And I have bad news: Garry Tan (pictured) is considered by many in Silicon Valley to be one of the “good” VC’s.

"All public high schools and districts can register with The Atlantic to give their students, teachers, and administrators unlimited access to TheAtlantic.com while on campus at no cost: all articles, full magazine issues, podcasts and audio articles, Atlantic Games, and the complete archive."

Doing a live TV hit and leading with this:

"There is a term for premeditated killing outside of armed conflict—that term is murder."

NEW: Judge Immergut's says Trump's assessment of "war-ravaged" Portland was not made in "good faith" Even under a legal standard that gives the president "great deference," she said, there's no basis for "ignoring the facts on the ground."
