RICHMOND, Va.—A judge in Richmond has issued an injunction preventing Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam’s administration from removing an iconic statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee for 10 days.

The temporary injunction order issued on Monday says the state is a party to a deed recorded in March 1890 in which it accepted the statue, pedestal, and ground they sit on and agreed to “faithfully guard” and “affectionately protect” them.
