Judges block Trump administration efforts on voting, immigration, sanctuary cities and DEI

Federal judges have issued rulings against several Trump administration actions, including voter ID requirements, sanctuary city funding cuts, deportations and anti-DEI guidance.

Legal battles over President Donald Trump's executive actions are growing, with federal judges across the country handing down a number of rulings as the administration promises to fight some unfavorable decisions.Voter IDIn a setback to the Trump administration, a judge paused an effort to require proof of citizenship to vote. The administration argued the requirement would restore public trust in elections but the judge ruled the Constitution gives states and Congress, not the president, the power to run elections. The judge found that voter rights groups proved the ID requirement would cause harm and work against the public interest.But the judge sided with the administration on some parts of the order, including requiring all mailed ballots be received by Election Day and opening up voter databases to the federal government. The House has already passed a similar bill to turn the executive order into law.Sanctuary City Funding CutsA judge put a temporary pause on the administration's effort to cut federal funding to sanctuary cities, arguing it is unconstitutional to withhold money from local governments based on their coordination with immigration enforcement. Sanctuary cities are generally jurisdictions that will not go beyond their federal requirements to work with immigration agencies, sharing information or holding people they have arrested longer.Justice Department lawyers argued it is too early for a decision when the government has not taken any action withholding specific amounts or laying out conditions for grants.Deportations Under Alien Enemies ActThe Trump administration is appealing a ruling barring it from deporting people using the Alien Enemies Act unless they are given three weeks' notice. In a separate but related lawsuit, court documents show that migrants are given 12 hours to decide if they want to contest their removal, while attorneys in another case have said they are given 24 hours. Immigration groups argue the limited time violates a Supreme Court order demanding that migrants have "reasonable time" to make a decision.The Trump administration has been using the Alien Enemies Act, a law previously only used during wartime, as its legal basis to deport people it accuses of being part of a gang to a prison in El Salvador.DEI & Public School FundingAt least three judges ruled against the administration's anti-diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) guidance for grade schools, colleges, and universities. The administration gave states a deadline to gather signatures from schools acknowledging they would not use "illegal DEI practices," threatening to cut federal funding if they did not comply. The judges sided with arguments that the guidance from the Education Department is too vague and violates First Amendment rights.The administration expands on a Supreme Court ruling that DEI has been used at the expense of white and Asian American students. But some Democrat-led states say that argument oversteps its authority and that there is nothing illegal about DEI.
