Chuck Grassley: Senate Is Working to Solve ‘Judicial Overreach’

Sean Moran 18 Mar 2025

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) said he is committed to solving “judicial overreach” after federal judges moved to stop Trump’s deportation of criminal migrants.

Grassley, in a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi, voiced his support for President Donald Trump’s memo directing federal agencies to enforce the Federal Rule of Civil Procedure, which states that federal courts must require parties seeking a preliminary injunction or temporary restraining order to provide a financial guarantee. This aims to deter “frivolous lawsuits” and ensures “coverage for lost taxpayer dollars when injunctions are later deemed wrongly issued,” according to a press release by Grassley’s office.

“Over the last few months, I have watched with concern as individual district judges have issued sweeping injunctions that reach far beyond the case or controversy before them. These orders are often issued as preliminary injunctions or temporary restraining orders on an expedited basis with limited hearings,” Grassley wrote.

The Iowa senator revealed:

    According to a 2023 Harvard Law Review study, there have been 96 nationwide injunctions spanning the four presidencies from 2001 to 2023, but 64 of them—2/3 of all nationwide injunctions over that time—targeted President Trump during his first four years in office. Nearly all of those orders were imposed by judges appointed by Democratic presidents, and 54 of the 64 orders were issued as preliminary injunctions or temporary restraining orders.

Many of these injunctions have sought to stymy Trump’s efforts to deport criminal migrants and illegal alien gang members from the United States.

Trump had invoked the Alien Enemies Act to begin deporting hundreds of these illegal alien gang members associated with Tren de Aragua and MS-13 gangs, both of which are designated terrorist organizations.

The problem is the Rats will filibuster any changes that would get the district court judges under control.

The courts are going to create a constitutional crisis in short order since Roberts has decided to back them and ignore the activist judges telling the administration how to run the executive branch. Pres. Trump is going to have to start ignoring more and more of these tyrants and if the SCOTUS doesn't support the POTUS he will have to ignore them.

What a mess and it is not Pres. Trump's fault. It is Chief Justice Roberts who did this.

And so Trump slays the rule of law.

As one of the talking heads said today, these judges are not defined in the Constitution, so I say Trump should terminate all of them.  Let the courts stack up cases, and again, force the stinking do nothing Congress to get off their fat posteriors and legislate restrictions for judges, and then perhaps bring back a fraction, like 40%.

These judges have too much time on their hands if they can sit and hear these frivolous cases.

Trump need only say:
