- Summary: «A federal judge has issued a temporary restraining order blocking Trump administration officers from indiscriminately — and without warning — firing "chemical or projectile munitions" at protesters outside an ICE facility in Portland, Oregon. [..] U.S. District Judge Michael Simon on Tuesday began his 22-page order by describing America as "at a crossroads," and himself as guardian against an "authoritarian regime." [..] The judge offered a full-throated defense of the right to protest President Donald Trump's deportation agenda and to gather news of the government's activities free from "objectively chilling" conduct, like "physically harming protestors and journalists without prior dispersal warnings."»
