Trump Administration Sues Maryland Judges Over Deportation Rulings
In a striking legal move, the Trump administration has filed a lawsuit against all 15 federal judges in Maryland, challenging a court order that blocks the immediate deportation of migrants seeking to contest their removal. This action underscores the administration’s pressing desire to maintain control over immigration enforcement while expressing mounting frustration towards federal judges who have repeatedly challenged its policies.
The lawsuit centers on an order by Chief Judge George L. Russell III, which temporarily halts the removal of immigrants after they file habeas corpus petitions in the Maryland district court. The administration argues this pause violates Supreme Court rulings and infringes on the president’s authority to enforce immigration laws.
Attorney General Pam Bondi voiced concerns over what she termed "judicial overreach," claiming it undermines democratic processes. The administration’s frustrations with judicial rulings have intensified as it confronts various legal setbacks on executive actions.
Legal experts note that suing judges is an unusual tactic; courts generally prefer that aggrieved parties appeal decisions instead. Critics highlight that the administration’s own actions, which have complicated legal proceedings, prompted the judges’ intervention. This lawsuit marks a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict between the executive branch and the federal judiciary.
