The Trump administration is suing each of the 15 federal judges from the District of Maryland, alleging that the district issued an illegal order automatically blocking deportations for individuals who file lawsuits before the court.

“Every unlawful order entered by the district courts robs the executive branch of its most scarce resource: time to put its policies into effect,” a June 24 complaint by the Justice Department read.
