Dickinson v. Trump (9th Cir. - April 27, 2026)

You can probably guess how Judge Lee's opinion, joined by Judge Tung, describes the ICE protests in Portland and the police response to them You can probably also guess how the non-Trump appointee, Judge de Alba, describes those same events, including a detailed, five-page bullet point description of what the video of these protest shows these officers doing to the protesters.

Perhaps needless to say, the majority dissolves the district court's injunction that enjoined federal officials from using crowd control munitions against peaceful protesters, while Judge de Alba dissents.
