This week, federal judges criticized the Trump administration for using “bad faith” tactics in court, making “inaccurate” claims, and providing “disingenuous” arguments. U.S. District Judge James Boasberg suggested possible contempt proceedings due to the administration’s failure to comply with court orders, while a judge in Maryland ordered the return of a deportee mistakenly sent to a megajail in El Salvador. The administration secured a win when the Supreme Court allowed the termination of Education Department grants the administration viewed as contradictory to its equity policy.
During a hearing, Judge Boasberg expressed frustration at the administration’s actions under an order halting deportations. In a separate case, a Maryland man was ordered to be returned to the U.S. after being mistakenly deported to El Salvador. The administration was also blocked by a California judge from ending Temporary Protected Status for Venezuelan nationals, with the administration’s arguments deemed “disingenuous.” Furthermore, a federal judge in Washington, D.C., criticized the administration for providing “inaccurate” claims in a case involving the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
The Justice Department also sought a stay in the Washington, D.C. case but was denied. However, the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals granted a partial temporary stay. The Supreme Court allowed the administration to terminate education grants, a decision that overturned a ruling by a Massachusetts-based judge. These legal battles illustrate the ongoing contentious relationship between the Trump administration and the judiciary.
