Judge orders Raiders return to Oakland amid loan dispute
In Los Angeles, a Monterey County judge reinstated an injunction barring the Raiders from leaving Oakland pending a civil suit over eminent domain. The $6.7 million earmarked for relocation was described as repayment for relocation, not a gift, though finance officials debate loan terms. If Oakland wins, the club may stay or return to Oakland after this season, with a spring trial on takeover likely.
