U.S. District Judge Michael Simon on Monday set a hearing for the temporary restraining order request for Friday at 10 a.m. Pacific Time.

In declarations to the court made Monday afternoon, officials from the Portland Police Bureau and Oregon State Police said federal officers would create more trouble than they would prevent.

Craig Dobson, assistant chief of operations for the bureau, wrote that crime is down in the city — half as many murders have occurred since the same time last year, injury shootings are down more than 30% and murders, rapes, burglaries and robberies are all declining.

“Portland is not under siege, war-ravaged, or otherwise a particularly violent or unruly major city. There is no law-enforcement or public-order need for a federal deployment to Portland,” Dobson wrote.
