On Friday, a United States District Judge rejected the state of Oregon’s request for a temporary restraining order to clamp down on federal agents in Portland, Oregon.

Judge Michael W. Mosman wrote, “Through its motion, Oregon seeks a temporary restraining order that would require Defendants to identify themselves and their agency before detaining or arresting any person off the streets in Oregon; explain to any person being arrested or detained that she is subject to arrest or detention and explain the basis for the seizure; and to refrain from arresting protesters without probable cause or a warrant.”
