Trump-nominated judge criticizes DOJ for 'disastrous' lawsuit targeting Maryland judges

Federal Judge Dismisses Lawsuit: A federal judge dismissed a lawsuit filed by the Trump administration against all federal judges in Maryland, which aimed to challenge a ruling that slowed deportation efforts for individuals believed to be in the country illegally.

Administration's Appeal Planned: The Trump administration plans to appeal the ruling, labeling it as an attack on the president's authority to enforce immigration laws.

Judiciary's Frustration with Administration: The ruling reflects growing frustration within the judiciary regarding the Trump administration's aggressive legal tactics, including misconduct complaints against judges and derogatory remarks about them.

Legal Context of the Case: The lawsuit arose after a Maryland court implemented an order blocking deportations for migrants filing habeas petitions, which are legal challenges against unlawful detention.
