In California, a federal judge prohibited the Trump administration from cutting federal funds to the so -called sanctuary jurisdictions where the local police refuse to help with the application of the federal immigration policy.
After Trump tried to remodel the elections with an executive order last month, a federal judge prevented the government from requiring citizenship evidence when registering to vote, saying that only Congress has the power to institute such change.
In immigration matters, the Trump administration is in hot water with multiple judges. A Boston judge is investigating whether the Trump administration violated a court order when he eliminated four alleged train members of Aragua to El Salvador, and a judge in Maryland appointed by the president ordered on Wednesday the return of a man deported to El Salvador whose deportation violated a judicial agreement.
In New York, DOJ lawyers accidentally revealed an internal document that recognizes deficiencies in their plan to kill congestion prices.
Friday is ready to bring a new legal problem to the avant -garde, with a federal judge in Boston who assumes whether the Trump administration attempts to dismantle the Department of Education are legal. The hearing will mark the first time a federal judge considered the problem since Trump issued an executive order last month that ordered the Secretary of Education Linda McMahon to take measures to reduce the department.
