This week, judges expressed frustration with the Trump administration’s defense tactics in court, with accusations of bad faith, disingenuous arguments, and inaccurate claims. U.S. District Judge James Boasberg suggested contempt proceedings for the government’s failure to comply with his orders regarding deportation restrictions. In Maryland, a judge ordered the return of a deportee sent to a prison in El Salvador by mistake. The Supreme Court sided with the administration in allowing the termination of Education Department grants.
Boasberg criticized the administration for its handling of deportations and for failing to comply with court orders, suggesting intentional timing of a deportation order to avoid legal challenges. In a separate case, a Maryland man deported to El Salvador against an immigration judge’s order was ordered to be returned to the U.S. by Monday.
In California, a federal judge temporarily blocked the administration from ending Temporary Protected Status for Venezuelan nationals, citing unauthorized actions by the administration. The judge rejected the administration’s request for a stay, calling their arguments disingenuous. In Washington D.C., a judge criticized the administration’s inaccurate claims regarding the shuttering of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
Finally, the Supreme Court allowed the administration to terminate education grants related to diversity training, overturning a lower court ruling. This decision was seen as a victory for the administration. The administration faced legal challenges in several key cases this week, with judges expressing concerns about their tactics and compliance with court orders.
