This market will resolve to “Yes” if any U.S. court blocks the implementation of any portion of the D.C.-related actions announced in “Declaring a Crime Emergency in the District of Columbia” (Executive Order, Aug 11, 2025) or “Restoring Law and Order in the District of Columbia” (Presidential Memorandum, Aug 11, 2025) by August 15, 2025, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, it will resolve to “No”. Any official court action that temporarily halts or permanently blocks implementation—e.g., a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, stay, or substantially similar order—will qualify. Filings, hearings, or statements without an operative order will not qualify. The primary resolution source will be official information from the relevant courts; a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
