This week saw several instances of frustration from judges over the Trump administration’s handling of legal cases, with accusations of bad faith tactics, disingenuous arguments, and inaccurate claims. One judge expressed his desire to hold contempt proceedings due to the government’s failure to comply with orders. A separate case involved a Maryland man deported to El Salvador by mistake, with a judge ordering his return to the U.S. Another win for the administration came when the Supreme Court allowed the termination of Education Department grants, marking the first time during Trump’s second administration that the Court sided with him.
In one case, U.S. District Judge James Boasberg criticized the administration for not complying with his orders regarding deportations under the rarely used Alien Enemies Act. Another judge in California blocked the administration from ending Temporary Protected Status for Venezuelan nationals, labeling the decision as arbitrary and capricious. A federal judge in Washington, D.C., denied the administration’s request to pause the closure of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, calling their arguments inaccurate.
The Supreme Court’s decision to allow the termination of education grants was seen as a victory for the administration, blocking a lower court ruling that found the termination process to be improper. Overall, the week was marked by legal battles between the Trump administration and judges who felt frustrated and critical of its handling of various cases.
