Summary

Federal courts continue to thwart the Trump administration's sweeping attempts to shrink government programs and staff, with judges repeatedly accusing officials of ignoring or delaying orders.

Recent rulings:

  • Halted OPM’s firing of probationary (new) employees, holding OPM had “no authority” to dictate hiring and firing decisions at other agencies.
  • Blocked a blanket freeze on foreign aid, but SCOTUS granted a stay.
  • Found attempts to suspend refugee admissions exceeded presidential authority.
  • Restricted immigration enforcement at religious locations
  • Limited federal access by DOGE for Education, OPM, Treasury, and Labor Department records.
  • Enjoined a proposed federal funding freeze.
  • Upheld injunctions against Trump’s birthright citizenship order in two appeals courts for likelihood of 14th Amendment violations.

I know how it worked for a certain European country in the late 30's and early 40's.

Don’t worry. There has been no indication he wants any land outside US territory. Except the 3 he’s mentioned in his first month. Including Canada of course.
