Cobb's order, issued Nov. 20, was not set to go into effect until mid-December to give the DOJ a chance to challenge it.
The DOJ appealed the order Tuesday, one day prior to the attack. A DOJ spokesperson confirmed to Fox News Digital Friday that the department is pressing forward with the appeal — the latest sign that the administration is not backing down from its decision to use the National Guard forces as part of its nationwide crackdown on illegal immigration and crime.
