“A federal judge on Tuesday threw out the Justice Department’s lawsuit against all 15 federal district judges in Maryland over an order slowing down speedy deportation efforts …. U.S. District Judge Thomas Cullen, an appointee of President Trump who sits on a federal court in Virginia, dismissed the lawsuit challenging a May standing order that automatically blocks the deportation of migrants in Maryland who file legal challenges over their detention for two business days. The Trump administration had argued that the order … interferes with the executive branch’s powers and violate various rules. ‘Fair enough, as far as it goes,’ Cullen wrote. ‘If these arguments were made in the proper forum, they might well get some traction.’ But the judge explained that, instead of challenging the standing order through the proper channels, it chose a ‘different, and more confrontational, path entirely’ by suing the entire Maryland bench.” (08/26/25)
