Case Overview

The Trump administration appealed Judge Cobb's preliminary injunction order which enjoined the DOD from deploying the National Guard in D.C. pursuant to specific orders.


The Application

History

The district court enjoined the deployment after finding plaintiffs demonstrated likelihood of success on a legal theory opposing the deployment. The Trump administration appeals, asserting the deployment is authorized under presidential authority or statutory exceptions to Posse Comitatus.

The Conclusion

The preliminary injunction remains in effect during the appeal. The CADC will determine whether Judge Cobb properly applied the preliminary injunction standard and whether the deployment violates applicable law.
