DAILY WIRE – From blocking deportations of gang members to keeping men in women’s prisons, activist judges have taken up the mantle of leftist resistance during the first 100 days of President Donald Trump’s second term.
Trump opened his second administration with a rapid series of executive orders aimed at reducing the size of government and addressing the crises spurred on by the Biden administration. Judges responded by issuing a record number of national injunctions blocking those orders. These injunctions have touched nearly every aspect of Trump’s agenda, leading conservatives to call for action from Congress and the Supreme Court to rein in activist judges.
Here are just a few of the orders federal judges issued to disrupt Trump’s agenda:
- Judge Royce Lamberth blocked the dismantling of the United States Agency for Global Media.
- Judge Indira Talwani said Trump could not end President Joe Biden’s parole program that let 500,000 migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela into the country.
- Judge John Woodcock Jr. said that the Department of Agriculture could not freeze funding to Maine over its decision to let boys play in girls’ sports.
