In her 16-page order granting the preliminary injunction, U.S. District Court Judge Karin Immergut said she needed more time to go through the case. The block now goes until 5 p.m. on Nov. 7.

Attorneys returned to court in Portland Thursday as U.S. District Court Judge Karin Immergut hears further arguments over the legality of domestic military deployment to Portland.
