A federal judge on Wednesday barred the Department of Homeland Security from transferring illegal aliens to other agencies like the Department of Defense. US District Judge Brian Murphy, a Biden appointee, said the Trump Administrationâs DHS cannot transfer aliens to other agencies as a way to prevent them from receiving âdue process.â â[After] taking custody of an alien, Defendants may not cede custody or control in any manner that prevents an alien from receiving the due-process guaranteesâŚâ the judge wrote.

United States District Court Judge Jennifer Thurston, appointed to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California by former President Joe Biden, is blocking Border Patrol Agents across most of California from arresting suspected illegal aliens unless they have a warrant for their arrest. This week, Thurston issued a preliminary injunction that will prevent Border Patrol agents in Californiaâs eastern district, the largest judicial district in the state, from carrying out arrests of suspected illegal aliens without a warrant and halting such arrests unless agents have a âreasonable suspicionâ the suspect is an illegal alien. âIndeed, the evidence...

A federal judge in West Texas halted the deportation of suspected Tren de Aragua gang members under the Alien Enemies Act. US District Judge David Briones, a Clinton appointee, on Friday ordered the release of two suspected TdA members. The judge admonished DOJ lawyers and said they âhave not demonstrated they have any lawful basisâ to keep the couple detained. The couple, Julio Cesar Sanchez Puentes and Luddis Norelia Sanchez Garcia, arrived in the US from Mexico in 2022 and were granted temporary protected status (TPS) by the Biden Regime. President Trump terminated the TPS program, and the couple was...

A federal judge on Friday blocked President Trumpâs executive order to strip federal workers of their âcollective bargainingâ rights. Last month President Trump issued an executive order blocking hundreds of thousands of federal workers in HHS, Veterans, Treasury and other federal agencies. The National Treasury Employees Union sued the Trump Administration in response to the executive order. US District Judge Paul Friedman, a Clinton appointee, blasted Trump earlier this week during a hearing on this case. âSo, heâs willing to be kind to those that work with him, but those that have sued him, those that have filed grievances, those...

President Donald Trump defended his use of the power that comes with the presidential office, denying that he is âexpandingâ it while maintaining that he is âusing it properlyâ in an interview on his first 100 days as the 47th president with TIME. Trump, who will have served 100 days of his second term on April 30, gave the extensive, bombshell interview to the outlet from the White House on Wednesday. The interview started off with a pointed question from TIME senior political correspondent Eric Cortellessa and editor-in-chief Sam Jacobs, who asked, âWhy do you think you need more power?â...

During Trumpâs first term, the Democrats had two major arrows in their quiver: The Russia Hoax and lawfare. When they werenât falsely accusing him of being a Russian asset, they were using the courts to prevent him from acting. By doing so, they managed to hamstring almost all of his domestic actions. This time around, while the Russia Hoax is gone, weâre seeing lawfare on steroids, so much so that we can reasonably say that weâre living in a âkritarchyâ (i.e., rule by judges). This is not what our Constitution intended. In just the last 24 hours, judges have held...

Here we go againâanother judge sticking her nose where it doesnât belong, derailing President Donald Trumpâs efforts to make our elections secure. A federal judge in Washington, Colleen Kollar-Kotelly â a Bill Clinton appointee â just slammed the brakes on Trumpâs executive order that wouldâve required proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections. Trump signed the order in March, pointing out that the U.S. âfails to enforce basic and necessary election protectionsâ compared to countries like India or Brazil, which tie voter ID to biometric databases. Heâs not wrong. There's no denying that our elections are a mess, with...

Donald Trumpâs administration must facilitate the return of a second man wrongly deported to a prison in El Salvador, a federal judge has ruled, deepening a standoff between the courts and White House over the presidentâs radical immigration policies. District Judge Stephanie Gallagher said Wednesday the 20-year-old Venezuelan, along with multiple other migrants, was protected by a 2024 class action settlement prohibiting the deportation of migrants who arrived as unaccompanied minors until their asylum claims are fully adjudicated. His case comes amid a mounting political row over the wrongful deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran returned to his native...

A federal judge in California on Thursday barred the Trump administration from denying or conditioning the use of federal funds to âsanctuaryâ jurisdictions, saying that portions of President Donald Trump's executive orders were unconstitutional. But Orrick, who was nominated by President Barack Obama, said this was essentially what government lawyers argued during Trumpâs first term when the Republican issued a similar order. âTheir well-founded fear of enforcement is even stronger than it was in 2017,â Orrick wrote, citing the executive orders as well as directives from Bondi, other federal agencies and Justice Department lawsuits filed against Chicago and New York....

A federal judge on Thursday blocked President Donald Trump from implementing an executive order that requires voters to show documentation proving their U.S. citizenship to cast a ballot in federal elections. U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly, a Bill Clinton appointee, granted a preliminary injunction stopping the Trump administration from going forward with the proof-of-citizenship requirements as a lawsuit plays out, the Associated Press reported. The lawsuit, filed by the Democratic National Committee and leftist voting rights groups, claims that Trumpâs order is âan unlawful action that threatens to uproot our tried-and-tested election systems and silence potentially millions of Americans.â

On Wednesday, Judge Beryl Howell excoriated DOJ lawyers and signaled that she may permanently block President Trump from taking action against Perkins Coie. Last month, President Trump stripped security clearances of the employees at DNC law firm Perkins Coie. Recall that Hillary Clinton and the DNC paid law firm Perkins Coie more than $1 million to hire oppo research firm Fusion GPS to peddle the bogus âTrump-Russiaâ dossier during the 2016 election. Former British spy Christopher Steele compiled over a dozen memos alleging the Russians had blackmail on Trump and that his associates were conspiring with the Kremlin to win...

Two Democrat-appointed federal judges have extended temporary blocks on the Trump administrationâs use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport criminal illegal aliens. U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein has extended an April 9 order for another two weeks that bars the Trump administration from deporting illegal aliens being held in Southern District of New York without first providing them with an opportunity for a hearing. During a hearing Tuesday, Hellerstein, a President Bill Clinton appointee, criticized the Trump administration for its approach to deportations. âThis is not the Inquisition, itâs not medieval times,â Hellerstein said. Until the New York court...

The Trump DOJ responded to a federal judgeâs order demanding more details on its decision to deport MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia to El Salvadorâs CECOT prison. On Tuesday evening Judge Paula Xinis, an Obama appointee, erupted on the Trump Administration after a conference to address the governmentâs dispute over discovery in the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case.

A federal judge on Tuesday ordered the Trump Administration to rehire Voice of America (VOA) and other affiliate news services staff. President Trump placed employees and contractors for government-funded Voice of America on leave last month. US District Judge Royce Lamberth, a Reagan appointee, said Voice of America is funded by Congress and Trumpâs cuts to the agency are âa direct affront to the power of the legislative branch.â

A federal judge in New York on Tuesday extended his block on removal of Tren de Aragua gang members facing deportation under the Alien Enemies Act. US District Judge Alvin Hellerstein, a 91-year-old Clinton appointee, blasted DOJ lawyers during a hearing on Tuesday and accused them throwing people out of the US âbecause of their tattoos.â Earlier this month Hellerstein blocked the removal of two alleged Tren de Aragua gang members in New York.

At 1:00am on Saturday, the Supreme Court of the USA issued an injunction [SEE HERE] blocking President Trump from deporting illegal aliens identified under the Alien Enemies Act. It was/is a bizarre order considering the lower court had not even ruled on the matter; worse yet, the Supreme Court created an imaginary âclassâ of aliens. Any illegal alien who happens to also be a gang member, or illegal alien who would âsmartlyâ now claim to be a gang member, is ultimately the beneficiary of a Supreme Court order blocking their removal or deportation. Thatâs how judicially insane this injunction is.As...

(Reuters) -A U.S. judge barred the Trump administration from rapidly deporting hundreds if not thousands of migrants to countries other than their own without giving them a chance to show they fear being persecuted, tortured or killed there. U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy's preliminary injunction on Friday was the latest setback to an immigration crackdown launched by President Donald Trump when he took office on January 20.

The U.S. Supreme Court is preparing to weigh in on one of the most significant legal power plays in recent memory: whether individual federal trial judges can continue issuing nationwide injunctions that derail national policy. The high courtâs move could mark a turning point in the Trump administrationâs effort to rein in what it sees as activist judges stifling the will of the elected government. John Yoo, a law professor at UC Berkeley and former Justice Department official, broke down the issue during an appearance on Fox News, where he explained the gravity of the situation and why the Supreme...
