Trump ruled to have flouted the law more than a dozen times since taking office: report

Raw Story  

Federal judges have ruled that the current administration has defied the law in more than a dozen cases, including three major rulings this week, in the short time since Trump has taken office, according to reporting in The Washington Post. Senior political reporter Aaron Blake wrote, "The total works out to one such finding about every four days," that the administration was found to have "either has violated the law or has probably done so." The findings are for a variety of cases, including "Trump’s efforts to freeze federal funding, fire federal workers, restrict diversity efforts, overturn birthright citizenship and, most recently, limit transgender rights and deport certain immigrants without legal review." Blake clarified that most of the judges found that the administration "likely violated the law — a temporary but necessary finding needed to halt the administration’s actions while the fuller cases proceed." U.S. District Judge William Alsup "delivered a furious rebuke" to attorneys in March, condemning "the terminations of thousands of probationary workers as a 'sham' designed to circumvent the law, accused the Justice Department of filing a bogus declaration, and declared in open court that he felt 'misled' by dishonest government lawyers," according to Slate.
