The federal judge launched a trial of Trump against the judges of Maryland on the expulsion

A federal judge exerted on Tuesday an unusual legal action that the Trump administration brought against the 15 judges of the district court of Maryland over a policy that the court has regarding expulsion affairs.

Justice Thomas Cullen, appointed by President Donald Trump, scolded the administration for the confrontation trial and said that he had rejected him because the judges were protected by judicial immunity and because the executive power lacked position to provide complaints in the first place.

Cullen criticized the administration for continuing not only the chief judge of the district court, who issued the policy of the court in question, but “ostensibly to make good measure” all the other judges of the court.

Politicians, known as permanent order, obliges the courts of the courts to Maryland to automatically enter administrative breaks which last two working days in the affairs carried by alleged illegal immigrants who dispute their decents or their moves. The injunctions have the effect of temporarily preventing the Ministry of Internal Security from deporting or modifying the legal status of an immigrant until a judge has time to review the case.

Chief judge George Russell, who made the ordinance permanent, noted that the change of policy was necessary to help the court briefly maintain the status quo in the expulsion affairs until a judge can examine them. Russell quoted an influx of immigration prosecution brought in court, including weekends and holidays.

Government prosecutors have argued on behalf of the DHS that the empite order on the authority of the ministry on immigration policy and that “a feeling of frustration and a desire for greater convenience do not allow defendants to vibrate the law”. They declared that the court did not have the power to interfere automatically with all the expulsion procedures put before him and to put them briefly.

Cullen, which is based in the western district of Virginia, chaired the trial because the judges of Maryland have recused themselves.

The order of 39 pages of Cullen was sheltered from hardwords for the Trump administration. The judge said that it was not surprised that “the executive chose a different and more conflictual path” than to challenge the policy on a case -by -case basis, which, according to the judge, would have been the appropriate route.

The judge said that it is not “normal times” and that the administration had made a “concerted effort” to tarnish the reputation of the judiciary, an observation which comes when the judges of the district court regularly embarrassed the executive power of the realization of the elements of the order of the day of Trump, including on immigration, prices and government cuts.

“Although a certain tension between the branches of the government’s coordinates is a characteristic of our constitutional system, this concerted effort of the executive to dirty and challenge the individual judges who pronounce against this are both unprecedented and unhappy,” said Cullen.

The Trump administration quickly appealed from Cullen’s decision at the American Court of Appeal for the fourth circuit.
