Trump DOJ Sues Maryland Federal Judges Over Deportation

News summary

The Trump administration has sued the entire U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland and all 15 of its judges over a standing order, issued in May by Chief Judge George Russell III, that automatically grants a two-day reprieve from deportation for migrants filing habeas petitions challenging their detention. The Justice Department argues the order constitutes judicial overreach, unlawfully interferes with executive immigration enforcement, and was issued outside the context of specific cases without public comment. The court implemented the order in response to a surge of emergency petitions from migrants facing rapid deportation, aiming to ensure due process and legal review. The administration claims the order disrupts the deportation process and circumvents normal judicial procedures. Legal experts say this lawsuit escalates tensions over the separation of powers and the role of the judiciary in immigration matters. The Justice Department seeks to have the order declared unlawful and requests the case be moved out of Maryland due to the involvement of all local judges.
