Federal Courts Block Multiple Trump Policies Across U.S.

Recent court rulings have increasingly challenged President Donald Trump's policies and executive actions, underscoring tensions between the judiciary and the administration. A federal judge in California enjoined the Department of Defense from using military personnel for law enforcement under the Posse Comitatus Act, highlighting legal uncertainties regarding the president's authority to deploy troops for immigration enforcement. Meanwhile, federal judges nationwide have expressed frustration with the Supreme Court's pattern of swiftly overturning lower court decisions involving Trump with minimal explanation, which some worry undermines judicial integrity and emboldens harsh criticism against the judiciary. Despite some victories aided by the conservative-majority Supreme Court, many of Trump's legal battles remain unresolved, with lower courts often ruling against his administration upon fuller consideration of the issues. This judicial pushback comes as Congress largely steps aside, leaving courts as a critical check on the president's efforts to reshape policies. The evolving legal landscape reflects broader conflicts over executive power, separation of powers, and the role of courts in adjudicating politically charged issues.
