This week, judges expressed frustration with the Trump administration’s legal tactics, accusing them of using “bad faith” tactics, making “disingenuous” arguments, and presenting “inaccurate” claims in court. U.S. District Judge James Boasberg hinted at contempt proceedings for the government’s failure to comply with orders. A federal judge in Maryland ordered the return of a deportee sent to El Salvador accidentally. Despite these setbacks, the Supreme Court sided with the administration in allowing it to terminate Education Department grants.
Boasberg criticized the administration for violating orders to halt deportations, questioning its timing and decision-making process. Another judge in California temporarily blocked the administration from ending Temporary Protected Status for Venezuelan nationals, calling the move “unauthorized by law.” In Washington, D.C., a judge denied the administration’s request for a stay on ending the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
The week ended with the Supreme Court ruling in favor of the administration, allowing it to proceed with terminating education grants. This decision was seen as a victory for the administration in its efforts to roll back diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. Overall, the administration faced legal challenges regarding deportation orders, termination of protected status, and agency closures. Despite some setbacks, the administration had a significant win in the Supreme Court ruling on education grants.
