Limiting the power of federal judges is a pet issue that President Trump has seized on as his administration faces a litany of lawsuits since he took office.

A Texas judge blocked deportations of anyone held in a South Texas detention facility who may be removed under the wartime law and a New York judge planned a similar order in part of that state.

Federal judges in New York and Texas on Wednesday issued orders to temporarily halt the deportation of Venezuelan plaintiffs in a lawsuit challenging the Trump administration’s use of the Alien Enemies Act – a wartime authority the administration has invoked to deport alleged gang members without due process.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia was driving home with his young son in Maryland when he was stopped by agents from US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Agents took Mr Garcia into custody, then shuttled him to detention facilities in Louisiana and Texas.

President Donald Trump is expected to sign executive orders Tuesday aimed at boosting coal, a reliable but polluting energy source that’s long been in decline.

The Trump administration is touting a Supreme Court ruling allowing it to resume deportations under the Alien Enemies Act as a major victory, but the immigration fight is far from over.

President Trump issued a proclamation on March 14 invoking the Alien Enemies Act to summarily deport Venezuelan migrants who are allegedly members of the gang Tren de Aragua.

The Justices tell lower courts to stay in their proper judicial lane.

The Supreme Court this week allowed the administration to resume deportations, saying a case should have been filed in Texas. But the A.C.L.U. said other detainees are being held in the jail of a small New York town.

House Republicans passed a bill aiming to curb district court judges' ability to issue nationwide injunctions, which have stymied Trump's agenda.

The legislation is part of an escalating Republican campaign to take aim at judges who have moved to halt some of President Trump’s executive orders.

The ruling overturns a lower court that reinstated thousands of employees who lost their jobs in Trump's purge of the federal workforce.

A U.S. appeals court cleared the way on Wednesday for 18 federal agencies to once again fire thousands of employees who lost their jobs as part of President Donald Trump's purge of the federal workforce but were later reinstated by a lower-court judge in Maryland.

The Supreme Court is giving Trump early wins and pushing back on broad trial court rulings, especially regarding immigration and executive power.
