The last ways in which the courts have rejected our president without law

Injustice for all is a weekly series on how the Trump administration is trying to arm the judicial system and those who retaliate.

It was a bad week for President Donald Trump, with his disorderly rupture With his former co -president, Elon Musk. But take heart – it was Also A bad week for Trump in the courts.

Judge Royce Lamberth does not fuck

On Tuesday, judge of the American district court Royce Lamberth blocked The administration's attempt to deny the care of sex to transgender people imprisoned. This means that the government must continue to provide hormone therapy while the dispute passes before the courts.

If you are wondering how much the law is taking this, just by the name of Google Lamberth, and you will be welcomed with an endless list of right -wing grievance sites on the way in which Your taxes should not be used for this and supervise Lamberth as a little LGBTQ + LGBTQ + perchaison in everyone's throat.

Except that Lamberth is an 81 -year -old man appointed by former president Ronald Reagan. It is not a liberal squisis. He is the judge who prevented the president of the time, Barack Obama, of the expansion of research on stem cells.

One appointed by Reagan, 81, Royce Lamberth, granted A preliminary injunction prohibiting the administration from implementing its decree, which has stopped care affirmed by the sexes or medical procedures in prisons. LAMBERTH is not looking forward to how LAMBERTH is a kind of liberal Sorse despite the judge who The president blocked Obama expansion of stem cell research.

Lamberth has also supervised numerous convictions related to the insurrection of January 6, 2021, which makes it likely forever in the eyes of the conservatives. But it is also the judge who detained Washington, DC, correctional managers in contempt for their defendant's treatment on January 6 and referred the case to the Ministry of Justice to determine if the other defendants of January 6 were faced with the same treatment.

If Lamberth has liberal trends, he may not think that the government should be able to treat imprisoned people. This does not increase well for this administration in this case, but it augurs well for the complainants of the case and for those of us who seek to grasp a glimmer of hope.

Judge magistrate Amelia Helmick does not fuck

Remember how Trump administration Continue to say Their agreement to throw people in a notorious Salvadoran prison, Cecot, is so secret that it cannot be revealed, even to judges supervising the many prosecutions against the administration for these deportations?

Yes, judge magistrate Amelia Helmnick will not entertain this nonsense.

In this case, the applicant, a Venezuelan citizen passing through “EDQC”, argues that he was not advised from his dismissal to Salvador and could therefore not challenge him. Boost just reigned that the administration must respond to requests for discovery of the applicant, including whatever the administration made with the dictator of the millennium of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele:

The only reason El Salvador even entered the conversation in this case is that the government sent the petitioner to El Salvador. […] For the respondents, now says that the terms of this relocation and potential detention should be protected from the petitioner and that the court is dishonest.

Judge Paula Xinis does not fuck

The patience of the judge of the American district court Paula Xinis is not only thin. Let's go. The administration refused to bring back the father of Maryland Kilmer Abrego Garcia to the house, despite the order of Xinis to do so. Instead, they obstructed this case with parasitic deposits, leaving Xinis in a position where it must be almost confronted to tackle all the nonsense they recently launched together.

On Wednesday, Xinis abandoned two orders on the head of the administration. The first grant that the complainants leave to deposit a Motion for sanctions against the government. It is far from the granting of sanctions, but it is a start.

THE other order approached the administration's attempts to keep a large part of what it posted to the court unavailable to the public in the deposit under seal. Again, Xinis did not have it, and she ordered that many documents that the administration indicated were national security treasures, or something else, to be sealed.

This administration continues to try to get away with everything in the shade, but Xinis will continue to slide them in the light.

More good news: Abrego Garcia would be On the way back to the United StatesWhere he will always face criminal charges for having supposedly transportation of undocumented immigrants in America.

Judge Boasberg is not only fucked, he incandescent with rage

It has been almost three months since the Trump administration ignored The order of the American district judge James Boasberg to transform two planes filled with hundreds of Venezuelan immigrants disappeared in Salvador. Boasberg has discovered that there was a month and a half probable cause To keep the Trump administration officials in criminal contempt for their challenge of this order.

Wednesday, the extremely justified misfortune of Boasberg with the government has manifested itself in a 69 -page opinion This starts by comparing the treatment with the government of the Venezuelans deported to Josef K. in the novel by Franz Kafka in 1925, “The Trial”. In the book, K. wakes up to strange men arresting her, refusing to answer him why, informing him rather than “the procedures are underway”. When K. insists that there is an error, he is told that there was no mistake and that the department holding it is only “attracted by guilt”.

This does not improve for the government after that. Boasberg reminds them that the Supreme Court judged, in two separate cases, that the deportees have the right to note that they are subject to the deletion, carried out within a reasonable time which would allow them to petition for a brief of Habeas Corpus before being expelled. Boasberg told the administration that if they argue that they will not bring the deportees to their homes, they should provide them with regular procedure in Salvador.

Boasberg also reminded the administration that he is fully aware that “many of those currently buried in Cecot have no connection with the gang [Tren de Aragua] And thus languish in a foreign prison or fragile, even frivolous accusations. »»

Kafkaesque, indeed.

The 4th circuit does not fuck

Generally, the law on the reform of the public service obliges federal employees to challenge their discipline or their dismissal to exhaust administrative appeals before being able to bring federal legal action. Federal employees must therefore first continue the question through the independent agencies created by the Congress – the Merit Systems Protection Board and the Special Advice Office.

Indeed, this is what the complainants National Association of Immigration Judges c. Owen were informed in 2023, when the lower court ruled that the MSPB was the only avenue for immigration judges – who, despite the name, was not part of the judiciary and are not named, but are rather part of the executive and are hired – to challenge the conditions of their employment.

You may say: “Why is it here in my update of Trump Bad News when he looks like a former case that has been rejected in Biden administration?”

Well, because in the meantime, Trump illegally removed MSPB members and pulled his head From the special advice office, Hampton Dellinger. Trump recently replaced Dellinger with Paul Ingrassia, a 30 -year -old right -wing podcaster whose previous legal work mainly consists in representing mainly the notorious misogynist Andrew Tate.

When the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals heard this case on appeal, Trump's dismantling of protections for federal employees was in progress. If neither the MSPB nor the special advice office is functional, the employees have nowhere to turn. So the 4th circuit plunge The case before the lower jurisdiction to determine whether the law on the reform of the public service “has been so undermined” that it can no longer prevent federal employees from continuing directly before the federal courts.

Trump should not be able to trap employees in a futile – one could even say Kafkaesque – diagram where they can never significantly challenge employees' decisions via executive branch agencies.
