EUGENE, Ore. (CN) — The federal government has less than 24 hours to remove a fence it erected around an Oregon federal building — blocking off a plaza that has long been the site of public protests and demonstrations.
“Rather than ordering a mandatory injunctive remedy to move the fence, and given defendant’s incapacity to provide certain timelines even now, the only thing this court can and should do is order a return to the status quo — the removal of the existing perimeter fence,” U.S. District Judge Mustafa Kasubhai wrote in his order. The General Services Administration has until 7 a.m. Thursday to fully remove the fence.
On Wednesday, the Ninth Circuit denied the General Services Administration’s bid to extend the appeals court’s block on Kasubhai’s previous order to remove the fence.
The appeals court will consider the merits during a hearing next Wednesday and said the denial “should not be construed to prevent the government from implementing other appropriate safety measures for the protection of personnel and property."
