Reagan-appointed judge blocks key part of Trump's election overhaul order

Judge Blocks Trump Administration From Its Attack on Union Rights

A federal judge filed a preliminary injunction late on Friday that temporarily blocked the Trump administration from removing the bargaining rights of two-thirds of the federal workforce, which was widely considered retaliation against unions for challenging his power.

Senior U.S. District Judge Paul Friedman in Washington, D.C. wrote in his order that President Donald Trump's March executive order - where Trump claimed that these labor protections could threaten national security - is "unlawful." Friedman also wrote that an opinion explaining his reasoning will be issued in a few days.

‘Wasting Judicial Resources': Judge Shreds Trump Admin's Alien Enemies Act Case

Briones wrote in his decision that the allegations in Sanchez Puentes and Sanchez Garcia's case were based on "multiple levels of hearsay, hidden within declarations of declarants who have no personal knowledge about the facts they are attesting to."

"This court takes clear offense to respondents wasting judicial resources to admit to the court it has no evidence, yet seek to have this court determine petitioner Sanchez Puentes is ‘guilty by association'" by being married to his wife, Briones wrote.

 

US judge in Texas orders release of Venezuelan couple, temporarily blocks deportations

A federal judge in Texas ruled against deporting Venezuelan immigrants, finding it inappropriate for President Donald Trump to invoke the 1798 wartime law, the Alien Enemies Act.

U.S. District Judge David Briones, of El Paso, made the ruling on April 25, and ordered the release of Julio Cesar Sanchez Puentes and Luddis Norelia Sanchez Garcia from a federal detention facility in El Paso, a couple accused of being members of the Venezuelan gang, Tren de Aragua, according to the court opinion obtained by USA TODAY.

Briones' decision found that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials failed to prove "any lawful basis" indicating why the couple should be detained any longer for an alleged alien enemy violation, according to the judge's opinion.

“There is no doubt the Executive Branch’s unprecedented peacetime use of wartime power has caused chaos and uncertainty for individual petitions as well as the judicial branch in how to manage and evaluate the Executive’s claims of Tren de Aragua membership, and the invocation of the Alien Enemies Act as a whole,” wrote Briones, who was appointed in 1994 by President Bill Clinton.

 

220 lawsuits in 100 days: Trump administration faces unprecedented legal blitz

Since Donald Trump took office 100 days ago, the president and his administration have faced an average of more than two lawsuits per day, challenging nearly every element of his agenda.

The breakneck pace of the president's policies has been matched in nearly equal force by a flood of litigation -- at least 220 lawsuits in courts across the country -- challenging more than two dozen executive orders, the firing of twenty high-ranking government officials, and dozens of other executive actions.
.................................................
Approximately 60 of those cases have focused on the president's immigration policy, with courts so far blocking the president's attempts to remove birthright citizenship, withhold funding from sanctuary cities, remove noncitizens to countries other than their place of origin with little-to-no due process, and strip thousands of their temporary protected status. Some of those policies have earned the president rebukes from judges questioning the rationale for his unilateral immigration policy.

"It has become ever more apparent that to our president, the rule of law is but an impediment to his policy goals," U.S. District Judge John Coughenour, a Reagan appointee, said of Trump's executive order on birthright citizenship. "There are moments in the world's history when people look back and ask, 'Where were the lawyers, where were the judges?' In these moments, the rule of law becomes especially vulnerable. I refuse to let that beacon go dark today."

 

poor donnie boy, another mean judge telling him he can't be king

Judge orders Trump administration to restore $12 million for pro-democracy Radio Free Europe

A federal judge on Tuesday ordered the Trump administration to restore $12 million that Congress appropriated for Radio Free Europe, a pro-democracy media outlet at risk of going dark for the first time in 75 years.

US District Judge Royce Lamberth also tucked a lesson on the three branches of government inside Tuesday’s ruling, cautioning that the system of checks and balances established by the US Constitution must remain intact if the nation is going to continue to thrive.
..........................................
On April 22, however, Lamberth agreed to block the administration from dismantling Voice of America. The judge ruled that the administration illegally required Voice of America to cease operations for the first time since its World War II-era inception.

Congress makes the laws, but they must be signed by the president to take effect, Lamberth wrote in Tuesday’s ruling, and that’s exactly what happened in March when Trump signed the continuing resolution that allocated the grant funding to the government-operated media outlets.

 

another hat trick...give that man a pony

has any potus ever lost so many lawsuits? and he has done it in his first 100 days...so much winning...

Donald Trump Hit by Triple Legal Setback Within Hours

President Donald Trump faced a trio of legal and institutional challenges as well as pushbacks to his agenda on Tuesday.

Courts ruled against his administration's attempt to remove funding for an international broadcaster and to defund a volunteer program that saves American lives. They also temporarily blocked his attempt to fire public broadcast board members appointed by President Joe Biden.

The cases are predicated on whether the president can unilaterally remove funds for federal organizations and remove appointees whom he disagrees with politically.

Columbia student Mohsen Mahdawi freed after federal judge orders release

Mohsen Mahdawi has walked out of immigration detention after a federal judge in Vermont ordered his release. The Palestinian green-card holder and student at Columbia University had been detained and ordered deported by the Trump administration on 14 April despite not being charged with a crime.

“The two weeks of detention so far demonstrate great harm to a person who has been charged with no crime,” said Geoffrey Crawford, a US district judge, at a hearing on Wednesday, according to ABC News. “Mr Mahdawi, I will order you released.”

In his ruling, Crawford stated that the evidence before the court “suggests that Mr Mahdawi is neither a flight risk or a danger to the community, and his release will not interfere with his removal proceedings”.

Crawford wrote that the government “failed to demonstrate any legitimate interest in Mr Mahdawi’s continued confinement” and that his “continued detention would likely have a chilling effect on protected speech”.
