A federal judge appointed by Donald Trump has dismissed the case presented by the Department of Justice against the entire Judicial Power of Maryland by a permanent order that prohibits the government from deporting undocumented immigrants for at least one day after they present a legal challenge to their arrest.
The United States District Judge, Thomas Cullen, described the Trump administration attacks against district judges throughout the country a “spot” and “unprecedented and unfortunate.”
“In fact, in recent months, the executive’s main officers (and their spokesmen) have described the judges of the Federal District throughout the country as” left “,” liberal “,” activists “,” radical “, of political mentality”, “rogue”, “deranged”, careless, excessive, excessive, excessive, [and] unconstitutional ”[c]Stolen, ‘and worse, “Cullen wrote in a footnote.” Although a certain tension between the coordinated branches of the government is a distinctive seal of our constitutional system, this concerted effort of the Executive to stain and challenge individual judges who govern against him is not preceded and unfortunate. “
Cullen argued that the Administration must find a correct way to raise their concerns with the judges in the Maryland district court, and wrote that he does not believe that this should do demanding the entire Judicial Power of Maryland.

The permanent order was implemented in May, since the courts throughout the country sought to administer a wave of emergency demands that challenge the aggressive movements of the Trump administration to deport undocumented immigrants.
The Federal Court in Maryland is currently the home of possibly the best profile of these deportation cases: the one involving Kilmar Abrego García.
Abrego García, who was erroneously deported in March before being taken back to the United States to face new criminal charges, was taken in immigration custody when consulting with the application of immigration and customs in his office in Baltimore on Monday morning and is currently in a detention center in Virginia, where he faces the sport again.
