The order was issued on November twenty-fifth, following a motion filed by President Nygren himself. The courts decision prevents the Navajo Nation Speaker and Council from proceeding with the legislation until all court proceedings are complete.President Nygren argued in his motion that the legislation was based on unproven allegations still under investigation. He requested an emergency order to stop Speaker Crystalyne Curley and the Council from enacting any law to remove him and a quick hearing to determine if the restraining order should remain in place throughout the court cases.In a public statement, President Nygren reminded the Navajo people that he was elected by the entire Navajo Nation, while Council Delegates represent smaller areas and the Speaker is not directly elected by the people. He emphasized that the Diné entrusted him with his role and that he intends to honor that trust.The legislation to remove President Nygren was introduced by Speaker Curley after a special prosecutor made allegations of governmental misconduct on November twenty-first. A formal ethics complaint was filed, outlining alleged instances of misconduct occurring between January two thousand twenty-three and May two thousand twenty-five.The situation remains ongoing, with President Nygrens legal team working to maintain his position and the Navajo Nation Council and a special prosecutor pursuing their claims.
