The U.S. Department of Justice under President Donald Trump’s administration filed an unprecedented lawsuit against the 15 federal judges in the state of Maryland. The legal action seeks to challenge a court order imposing a 48-hour pause on deportations following the filing of writs of habeas corpus, a measure the government claims hinders the president’s immigration policies.
Attorney General Pamela Bondi argues that this injunction represents an overreach that undermines executive authority in immigration matters and violates established Supreme Court precedent. In addition, the Department of Justice requested that the case be moved out of Maryland and that the judges involved be recused.
Abrego Garcia case aggravates dispute
This legal standoff intensifies in the wake of the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland resident who was wrongfully deported to El Salvador in March 2025.
Abrego García, who had legal protection against deportation since 2019, was sent to the CECOT penitentiary center.
It is known for its inhumane conditions.
The Supreme Court ordered his return to the U.S., but the Trump administration initially refused, citing lack of jurisdiction.
Finally, on June 6, 2025, Abrego Garcia was returned to the U.S. and faces charges of alleged human trafficking.
His lawyers argue that the government has gamed the judicial system and that their client deserves a fair trial.
