I'm sure she's, I hope she's not, I hope this isn't true, gonna get political pressure from the right, from MAGA world and from Trump and his people.
But she is a true public servant who believes in the law, who knows what law enforcement is, has worked with it and for it and is not gonna get pulled into these silly ideological fights and these,
You know, depictions of what's happening on the ground that are only a figment of the imagination of Donald Trump that he posts on Truth Social when he says it's war-torn.
I mean, she pointed out very specifically that Trump's determination to deploy the Guard based on the facts on the ground was untethered from the truth.
Untethered to reality.
I don't think she thought she was divested of jurisdiction, though she did ask this question, what if the appeal to the Ninth Circuit on yesterday's TRO, the first TRO is granted and the TRO is overturned, would that affect today's TRO, should she issue one?
She was kind of thinking out loud and asking the attorneys their input.
And I think that the attorneys from California and Oregon,
made it very clear that today's a separate TRO on a separate issue with a separate movement of National Guard.
And whatever the court does in the first TRO shouldn't affect the TRO today.
And she was broad in her scope today.
And so we have two very powerful and poignant TROs.
But she did connect them.
I think she's going to incorporate by reference in the TRO that she's issued today the rationale and the factual

And then another 100 will be there by tonight, and the final group of 100 will arrive by tomorrow.
I do, I mean, they shouldn't be performing any official duties.
So I don't know if they're gonna be put on ice somewhere, just staying in the background and not conducting any official activity, or if they're gonna be sent back to California, whatever it is, they need to comply with the court order and they cannot be deployed to engage in any official duties in Portland.
Honored to be with you.
