The Trump administration has lost its unusual lawsuit against a federal court in Maryland that set up a process of automatically blocking deportations for individuals who challenged their detention by the federal government.

U.S. District Judge Thomas Cullen <a href="https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.mdd.584990/gov.uscourts.mdd.584990.58.0_4.pdf" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">said</a> in an opinion on Aug. 26 that the federal judges in Maryland, each of whom had been sued by the administration, enjoyed judicial immunity from what he described as “potentially calamitous litigation.”

“As events over the past several months have revealed, these are not normal times—at least regarding the interplay between the executive and this coordinate branch of government,” Cullen wrote.

“It’s no surprise that the executive chose a different, and more confrontational, path entirely.”

His ruling marked a victory for the judicial branch, which has seen escalating tensions with the executive branch through a flood of litigation brought against President Donald Trump’s agenda.

The Maryland District Court, in particular, has been the site of high-profile battles over judicial authority—resulting in at least two major Supreme Court decisions in recent months.

Before halting a Maryland judge’s nationwide block on Trump’s birthright citizenship order, the Supreme Court affirmed Judge Paula Xinis’s order that the administration facilitate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who had been deported to El Salvador.

Just a day before Cullen’s ruling, Xinis <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/judge-prohibits-deportation-of-kilmar-abrego-garcia-5906021" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">halted</a> the administration from deporting Abrego Garcia to Uganda.

Her order was part of a broader attempt by the court to secure more time for reviewing potential removals amid an influx of petitions for habeas relief.

In May, Chief Judge George Russell issued a standing order that automatically blocked the administration from altering petitioners’ legal status or removing them from the continental United States.

Citing scheduling difficulties, Russell described the order as a way to preserve the court’s jurisdiction over cases and ensure the petitioners could participate in court proceedings.

During a hearing on Aug. 13, the Justice Department alleged that Russell’s order amounted to a preliminary injunction that failed to consider certain factors judges are usually required to weigh when issuing such orders.

Its lawsuit went further in alleging that Russell’s order was diminishing “the votes of the citizens who elected the head of the executive branch.”

Cullen <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/judge-skeptical-of-trump-admin-lawsuit-against-other-federal-judges-5900693" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">seemed skeptical</a> during the Aug. 13 hearing and said in his more recent opinion that instead of seeking an injunction against the judges, the Trump administration should pursue the normal appellate process.

A judge from the Western District of Virginia, Cullen presided over the case after the administration requested recusal of the defendant judges in Maryland.

He declined to address whether Russell’s order was a proper exercise of judicial power, stating that other threshold issues stood in the way.

The administration, he said, didn’t have standing to bring the lawsuit because even if the executive were harmed in its duties related to immigration, Cullen had no authority to block the judges.

Doing so, he said, would lack a historical basis.

“One branch’s alleged infringement on another’s exclusive power does not license a constitutional free-for-all,” he said.

He added that the Maryland District Court was an entity of the sovereign United States and described the suit as a controversy between equals.

“As a federal court created by Congress, a United States District Court is part of that combined sovereign that may not be sued absent congressional waiver.”
