After a tumultuous twist of fate last week, the Trump administration has issued a mea culpa in one of the ongoing legal battles over the federal use of state National Guard troops to police American cities.

On Monday, in a letter motion addressed to the clerk of court for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit, the U.S. Department of Justice admitted that multiple prior representations about federal deployments to Portland, Oregon, were "incorrect" and expressed "regret" for making numerous such "errors" in various court filings.

Early last week, a three-judge appellate panel, in a 2-1 ruling, stayed a temporary restraining order (TRO) issued by U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut, an appointee of President Donald Trump during his first term in office. That TRO barred "the federalization and deployment of Oregon National Guard service members."

Late last week, after the Beaver State alerted the court to those aforementioned errors, the full 9th Circuit administratively stayed the panel's own stay – "[w]ithout objection from the panel." While the full court was clear that its pause of the panel's pause was "not a reconsideration of the earlier stay order," the latest-in-time order came in response to Oregon's arguments regarding the now-admittedly incorrect numbers supplied by the federal government.

1. So... they lied to the court... got the ruling they wanted as a result...

Oregon busted them, the 9th reversed the decision in light of accurate information.

now they "deeply regret" it? they regret being found out.

3. If any other litigant lied like that, the court would sanction them.

They would be ordered to pay the other side's attorney's fees on the appeal.

Why the fuck isn't DOJ being sanctioned?

2. We're very sorry you caught us.

4. Shocking...

...that they even admitted they made any kind of mistake. That's pretty unusual for these thugs.

But what was the nature of the "discrepancy" in the numbers. The numbers about what?

But just how many officers have been sent to Portland has been a subject of some controversy.

The majority opinion, signed by Judges Ryan Nelson and Bridget Bade, suggested 115 Federal Protective Service officers had been sent en masse to Portland, representing a major diversion of forces. New court filings show that is not the case, but that officers were sent in roughly monthlong “waves” of up to 30 people.

In other words, they exaggerated how many were actually deployed, hysterically insisting that the "war zone" required 115 FPS staff, all sent at once, to quell the "rampant violence", and that was a LIE. There were only 30 officers sent, and then they were switched out and replaced with another set of 30, etc. etc.
