The order, issued by Chief Judge George Russell, halts deportations for two days if a detainee files a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/republicans-zero-in-on-jacksons-defense-of-guantanamo-bay-terrorists\/\" title=\"Republicans Zero In On Jackson\u2019s Defense Of Guantanamo Bay Terrorists\">habeas corpus petition<\/a>. The DOJ argues this order violates Supreme Court precedent, as it exceeds the court&#8217;s jurisdiction over immigration issues and interferes with the executive branch&#8217;s authority. Attorney General Pam Bondi described the court&#8217;s actions as &#8220;judicial overreach,&#8221; undermining President Trump&#8217;s executive agenda. the DOJ&#8217;s lawsuit aims to have the judges recuse themselves and seeks to move the case to a diffrent judicial district to ensure impartial adjudication. This legal action highlights ongoing tension between the judicial and executive branches regarding immigration policies.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">DOJ sues Maryland federal court over order slowing deportations<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2157322\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>The&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/justice-department\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Justice Department<\/a>&nbsp;made an unusual move Tuesday evening by filing a lawsuit against every judge on the U.S. District Court for the District of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/maryland\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Maryland<\/a>&nbsp;over an order stalling the Trump administration&rsquo;s ability to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/deportation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">deport<\/a>&nbsp;illegal immigrants.<\/p>\n<p>The lawsuit against the 15 judges, the court clerk, and the court itself challenges a <a href=\"https:\/\/storage.courtlistener.com\/recap\/gov.uscourts.mdd.4175\/gov.uscourts.mdd.4175.165.0.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"May standing order\">May standing order<\/a> by the judicial district&rsquo;s chief judge, George Russell.

In the process, such orders diminish the votes of the citizens who elected the head of the Executive Branch,&rdquo; the DOJ said in its lawsuit.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Defendants&rsquo; lawless standing orders are nothing more than a particularly egregious example of judicial overreach interfering with Executive Branch prerogatives&mdash;and thus undermining the democratic process,&rdquo; the filing said.<\/p>\n<p>Because the Justice Department is taking the unusual step of suing the entire bench in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland, the department asked in a subsequent motion for all of the judges to recuse themselves from taking the case and assign it to a judge in a different judicial district or move the case entirely to a different district.<\/p>\n<p>Attorney General Pam Bondi called the order by the federal district court in Maryland, which is at the center of the lawsuit, part of &ldquo;judicial overreach&rdquo; aimed at undermining President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;President Trump&rsquo;s executive authority has been undermined since the first hours of his presidency by an endless barrage of injunctions designed to halt his agenda,&rdquo; Bondi said Wednesday.&nbsp;&ldquo;The American people elected President Trump to carry out his policy agenda: this pattern of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-isnt-defying-the-courts-hes-defending-the-constitution\/\" title=\"Trump Isn&#039;t Defying The Courts, He&#039;s Defending The Constitution\">judicial overreach undermines<\/a> the democratic process and cannot be allowed to stand.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/justice\/3453717\/trump-judicial-nominee-emil-bove-senate-hearing-denies-whistleblower-claim\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"TRUMP JUDICIAL NOMINEE EMIL BOVE DENIES WHISTLEBLOWER CLAIM HE TOLD DOJ TO DEFY COURT ORDERS\">TRUMP JUDICIAL NOMINEE EMIL BOVE DENIES WHISTLEBLOWER CLAIM HE TOLD DOJ TO DEFY COURT ORDERS<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The federal district court in Maryland has been home to one of the most high-profile deportation battles of the second Trump term: the case involving Salvadoran national Kilmar &Aacute;brego Garc&iacute;a.<\/p>\n<p>The legal battle over &Aacute;brego Garc&iacute;a&rsquo;s deportation to El Salvador entered a new phase earlier this month, when he was returned to the United States to face criminal charges in a federal court in Tennessee for <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >allegedly transporting illegal migrants<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> <script data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/cdn-cgi\/scripts\/5c5dd728\/cloudflare-static\/email-decode.min.js\"><\/script><script>!function(){var g=window;g.googletag=g.googletag||{},g.googletag.cmd=g.googletag.cmd||[],g.googletag.cmd.push(function(){g.googletag.pubads().setTargeting(\"has-featured-video\",\"true\")})}();<\/script><script>var _bp=_bp||[];_bp.push({\"div\":\"Brid_2157322\",\"obj\":{\"id\":\"27789\",\"width\":\"1280\",\"height\":\"720\",\"stickyDirection\":\"below\",\"video\":\"2157322\"}});<\/script><script defer src=\"https:\/\/services.brid.tv\/player\/build\/brid.min.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DOJ sues Maryland court over order delaying deportations<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2638,"featured_media":2452517,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/justice-department-logo-2025.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[8675,7076,38298,4585,4837],"class_list":["post-2452516","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-deportations","tag-doj","tag-federal-court","tag-lawsuit","tag-maryland"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/justice-department-logo-2025.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2452516","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2638"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2452516"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2452516\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2452520,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2452516\/revisions\/2452520"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2452517"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2452516"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2452516"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2452516"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
