The Trump administration is throwing a legal haymaker at the heart of judicial overreach.

The Department of Homeland Security is suing every single federal judge in Maryland’s district court for slamming the brakes on deportations with a blanket order that reeks of activist nonsense.

DHS filed a lawsuit Tuesday against all 15 active federal district court judges in Maryland, challenging a standing order that automatically halts deportations for 48 hours when illegal immigrants file habeas corpus petitions.

The Trump administration argues the order, issued by Chief Judge George L. Russell III in May, violates the Constitution and Supreme Court precedent requiring case-by-case rulings.

The complaint, filed in Maryland’s U.S. District Court, calls the policy an "egregious example of judicial overreach" that unlawfully restrains executive authority over immigration.

It alleges the order, which mandates court clerks to issue immediate injunctions preserving the "status quo" for detained immigrants, defies legal standards and undermines President Trump’s deportation agenda.

The administration also requested the judges recuse themselves, proposing an outside judge or a transfer to another district.

Attorney General Pam Bondi condemned the order as part of a broader pattern of judicial resistance to Trump’s policies, warning the policy "undermines the democratic process and cannot stand."

Legal experts note the lawsuit is unprecedented, with no known prior instance of the Justice Department suing an entire federal court.

The Maryland order cites a surge in habeas petitions filed after hours, creating scheduling issues for the court. The policy aims to ensure clear information about detainees’ status before hearings.

The lawsuit follows a separate Trump administration appeal to the Supreme Court over a Massachusetts judge’s injunction blocking deportations to South Sudan, which Solicitor General D. John Sauer called a "lawless act of defiance."

The case also coincides with a high-profile incident involving Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national mistakenly deported to El Salvador in March.

Judge Paula Xinis, now a defendant in the lawsuit, ordered his return to the U.S. to face trafficking charges, marking the first known erroneous deportation under Trump’s policies.

The Trump team is taking the fight to the activist judges who think they can rewrite immigration law from the bench.

This extraordinary legal battle pits the executive branch against an entire federal court, raising profound questions about the balance of power and the rule of law.

This Maryland mess is a textbook case of the judiciary playing fast and loose with the Constitution, trying to sabotage the will of the American people who elected Donald Trump to secure our borders.
