Trump hit with another court block in bid to deploy troops to Portland
The U. S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit just temporarily paused a ruling from a split three-judge panel that would have allowed President Donald Trump to call up the National Guard in Portland, Oregon, against protesters at that city’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility. That means that, for the time being, Trump remains stymied from calling up the Guard in Portland. According to Law Dork’s Chris Geidner, “A resolution on en banc consideration is expected(?) to happen by 5p Tuesday” meaning the appellate court will decide to rehear the case before every judge on the court, as opposed to the three-judge panel dominated by two of Trump’s own appointees. The Ninth Circuit as a whole has a majority of Democratic appointees and is often skeptical of Trump’s policies in legal challenges. Trump was initially blocked from the deployment by U. S. District Judge Karin Immergut, herself a Trump appointee, who in a blistering decision found that none of the facts on the ground supported Trump’s claim that a rebellion was underway. The initial Ninth Circuit reversal of this ruling was met with heavy criticism from legal experts, who noted that the majority was substituting their own opinions for the factual findings of the lower court.

Make-A-Wish staffer out after threatening to ‘call ICE’ on Latino fan during NLCS
A Milwaukee Brewers fan has been fired from her job and resigned from her role in the Make-A-Wish Foundation after she was recorded on video shouting obscenities and threatening to call Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents on a Latino fan of the Los Angeles Dodgers, according to a report. In a video making the rounds on social media, Dodgers fan Ricardo Fosado records himself taunting Brewers fans, including a woman identified by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel as Shannon Kobylarczyk. “Why is everybody quiet?” Fosado asks the Brewers fans. Kobylarczyk took issue with the remarks.”Real men drink beer, py!” she shouts back. “You know what? Let’s call ICE.” Fosado doesn’t relent.”Call ICE. Call ICE! We’re U. S. citizens. We’re veterans, baby girl. We’re veterans! Two wars! ICE is not going to do nothing to me. Good luck!” he retorts, laughing. Kobylarczyk then tries to smack Fosado’s phone out of his hand. Fosado told the outlet that Kobylarczyk reported him to stadium security, and he was escorted out of the building. Kobylarczyk’s employer Manpower Group, a staffing company, confirmed to the Journal that she was “no longer with the organization.” Additionally, she also resigned from her role on the board of directors at Make-A-Wish Wisconsin, that organization saidEven so, Fosado suck up for Kobylarczyk.”I don’t think it was like horrible or something that should get her fired. I feel bad for her,” Fosado said. “We cannot be judged on one mistake, and a lot of emotions were involved. It was just hurt feelings, nobody physically hurt anybody.”The Dodgers lead the best-of-seven National League Championship Series 2-0 as of Thursday afternoon.
