Remember when judges just followed the law? Those days seem long gone! Across America, liberal judges have been making up rules as they go along. They’ve blocked deportations, rewrote immigration policies, and acted like they run the country.

But what happens when judges break the rules themselves? Who watches the watchmen? This question is now front and center as one group of federal judges faces something they never expected – being on the receiving end of a lawsuit!

The Trump administration’s Department of Justice just dropped a bombshell. They sued all 15 federal district court judges in Maryland over a deportation order. Yes, you read that right – ALL the federal judges in Maryland are being sued by the DOJ.

What did these judges do? Chief Judge George L. Russell III issued an order that pauses any deportations under legal challenge in Maryland for 48 hours. This means any illegal immigrant facing deportation can file a last-minute petition and automatically get a two-day deportation delay.

The Justice Department isn’t having it. They called the judges’ order “unlawful, antidemocratic” and made it clear that judges don’t get to make up immigration policy.

From ‘Breitbart’:

“The Justice Department said that a ‘sense of frustration and a desire for greater convenience do not give Defendants license to flout the law.'”

Judge Russell claimed the order was necessary because of a “recent influx of habeas petitions” that created “scheduling difficulties” and “hurried and frustrating hearings.” Apparently, following the law is just too inconvenient for these judges.

A spokesperson for Attorney General Pam Bondi didn’t mince words, stating this lawsuit is “just the latest action by @AGPamBondi’s DOJ to rein in unlawful judicial overreach.”

Judges Aren’t Above the Law

The Constitution is clear about separation of powers. Judges interpret laws. They don’t make them. Immigration enforcement falls under the executive branch, not the judicial branch.

This lawsuit sends a powerful message: No one is above the law, not even federal judges. By creating a blanket 48-hour delay policy, these Maryland judges overstepped their bounds in a big way.

Law professor Carl Tobias from the University of Richmond called the lawsuit “a tremendous escalation” but admitted the Justice Department made “sound legal points.” Even critics can see that DOJ is standing on solid legal ground.

The judges’ order effectively creates a loophole for illegal immigrants facing deportation. File a petition, get an automatic 48-hour delay – no questions asked. That’s not how our system is supposed to work.

Predictable Liberal Outrage

Democrats are crying foul, of course. Maryland Governor Wes Moore called the lawsuit “a transparent effort to intimidate judges.” This is the same tired response we hear whenever anyone challenges judicial activism.

What Democrats call “intimidation,” most Americans call “accountability.” When judges start making up rules instead of following them, someone needs to step in.

This case could set an important precedent for future immigration enforcement. If the DOJ wins, it will restore proper balance between the branches of government and ensure that deportation orders can be carried out efficiently.

The American people elected President Trump to enforce our immigration laws. When federal judges create roadblocks to that enforcement, they’re not just challenging the president – they’re challenging the will of the voters.

As this legal battle unfolds, one thing is clear: the days of judges making up rules without consequences may finally be coming to an end. And for anyone who believes in the rule of law, that’s something worth celebrating.
