# Karin Immergut **Status: stub — expand.** U.S. District Judge for the **District of Oregon**, appointed by [[Donald Trump]] and confirmed in 2019; previously U.S. Attorney for Oregon (2003–2009). Presided over [[Oregon v. Trump]], the Portland [[National Guard]] federalization case. After two temporary restraining orders and a three-day trial, she entered a **permanent injunction on November 7, 2025**, holding in a 106-page opinion that neither the "rebellion" predicate of 10 U.S.C. § 12406(2) nor the "unable with the regular forces" predicate of § 12406(3) was satisfied and that the deployments "exceeded the President's authority." The fact that a Trump appointee wrote the sequence's only post-trial merits judgment against the administration is a recurring point in coverage of the federalization litigation. ## See also - [[National Guard Federalization Flow]] · [[National Guard]] · [[Posse Comitatus Act]] · [[Insurrection Act]]
