Preliminary Injunction enjoining government from taking any action to implement or enforce Presidential Proclamation No. 9945
On November 26, 2019, a federal judge in Oregon issued a preliminary injunction, thus enjoining the government from taking any action to implement or enforce Presidential Proclamation No. 9945. Finding that the government has not established irreparable harm, the Ninth Circuit denies the government's motion for stay of the Oregon federal court's injunction. Ninth Circuit hears oral argument in the government's appeal on Sept. 3, 2020. Doe v. Trump (D. Oregon, 3:19-cv-01743) (Ninth Cir. 19-36020).
