A federal judge issued a sharply critical ruling against a Trump administration executive order related to deportation efforts, notably using 26 exclamation points in the opinion to emphasize his disapproval. The judge described the order targeting WilmerHale as a "staggering punishment" and accused the administration of a "perverse reading" of the Constitution. The ruling came amid ongoing legal challenges to the Trump administration's deportation policies, including cases involving MS-13 gang members. The judge also criticized the government attorneys' arguments and last-minute legal tactics. This judicial response reflects increasing judicial resistance to the Trump administration's immigration enforcement strategies, with some observers attributing shifts in legal outcomes to the influence of the Supreme Court.
