https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2025/jul/21/federal-judges-insist-trump-cant-sue/Federal judges in Maryland complained Monday that the Trump administration’s lawsuit against their short-term deportation amnesty policy violates the Constitution and insisted they must have wide-ranging powers to stop a president from acting.
The case stems from the judges’ standing order that blocks deportations, for two business days, for any unauthorized immigrant who files a habeas petition in Maryland’s federal court.
The Justice Department sued, saying the court, almost entirely composed of Democratic appointees, was treading on President Trump’s executive powers to carry out deportations.
But the judges, led by Chief Judge George Russell III, said it’s Mr. Trump who needs to be reined in.
“Immigration officers sometimes violate the law. And when they do, the consequences can be stark,” Andrew Lawrence, the lawyer for the judges, said in their first defense lodged in court on Monday.
EXCERPT
Interesting Constitutional clash between two co-equal branches of government...another headache for John Roberts.
