GOP Leaders Vow to Block Activist Judges from Halting Trump Immigration Agenda
GOP vows to stop lone activist judges from halting Trump agenda as Democratic lawmakers claim a D.C. circuit court ruling on deportation blocking is a rightful part of 'separation of power'.
The Republican-led House Judiciary Committee has vowed to block two D.C. circuit court judges who ruled against the Trump administration's deportation plans, which targeted suspected members of the Tren de Aragua gang, in a move seen as an attempt to undermine the judiciary's independence. Democratic lawmakers claim that the ruling is a legitimate exercise of the separation of power and a threat to the rule of law. The judges' decision was based on concerns about due process and the lack of evidence against the targeted individuals. The Republicans aim to find alternative judges who would enforce Trump-era policies.
