Case Overview

The Trump administration appealed Judge Vera's order granting a preliminary injunction which prevents federal agents from using crowd control weapons on members of the press and legal observers.


The Application

History

The district court found federal agents used crowd control weapons against press members and legal observers during National Guard operations and granted a preliminary injunction preventing continued use. The appellants challenge whether the plaintiffs demonstrated the requisite likelihood of success and irreparable harm on constitutional grounds.

The Conclusion

The case is pending on appeal in the Ninth Circuit with the preliminary injunction currently in effect, preventing federal agents from using crowd control weapons on the press and legal observers pending appellate resolution.
