Trump Administration Sues Entire Bench of Maryland District Court Judges Over Order Slowing Deportations
- On June 24, the Trump administration initiated legal action against Maryland’s federal court system and its 15 judges in response to their orders blocking deportations.
- The suit challenges a standing order by Chief Judge George Russell III that automatically blocks deportations for two business days after habeas petitions are filed.
- This legal conflict arises amid claims that Maryland judges are unlawfully delaying immigration enforcement and that such judicial actions intrude on Executive Branch powers.
- The complaint asserts that the defendants’ unauthorized court orders represent a clear case of courts exceeding their authority and encroaching on the Executive Branch’s powers, while also highlighting that deportations often involve months of delicate diplomatic efforts.
- The lawsuit seeks to curb what the administration calls judicial overreach, asking for judges' recusal and transfer of the case to an outside district, signaling a wider dispute over immigration control.
