Cooper to hand President Trump a legal victory but denounce his wrecking-ball approach to government reform showed, if nothing else, the tensions confronting the federal bench in Washington.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Even as he admitted that the district courts might not always be the place to stop Mr. Trump\u2019s bid, Judge Cooper, in <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/storage.courtlistener.com\/recap\/gov.uscourts.dcd.277419\/gov.uscourts.dcd.277419.28.0_3.pdf\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">a ruling issued on Thursday<\/a>, acknowledged that the new administration had been marked so far by \u201can onslaught of executive actions\u201d leading to \u201cdisruption and even chaos.\u201d Chief among them, he wrote, were serial efforts to gut government agencies and slash the federal work force.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Many of these proposals have landed at the feet of Judge Cooper and his fellow jurists in Federal District Court in Washington who have spent the past four years dealing with an exhausting caseload emerging from efforts by Mr. Trump and his supporters to overturn the results of the 2020 election.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Now, these same judges are grappling with how to handle a different sort of power grab by Mr. Trump, sometimes halting his blizzard of executive actions and sometimes letting them move forward.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThese mixed results should surprise no one,\u201d Judge Cooper said, in what almost seemed to be a tone of somber resignation. \u201cFederal district judges are duty-bound to decide legal issues based on evenhanded application of law and precedent \u2014 no matter the identity of the litigants or, regrettably at times, the consequences of their rulings for average people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">This frank confession came as he and the 23 other federal judges in Washington have faced a tsunami of emergency petitions in the past few weeks, arising from a complex constellation of concerns and leading to a series of hastily called hearings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The issues they have dealt with, essentially on the fly, have been mind-bogglingly varied: transgender rights, immigration policy, the status of independent agencies and the inner workings of Elon Musk\u2019s government efficiency body.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIt\u2019s absolutely extraordinary, just on the numbers of issues being raised,\u201d said Nancy Gertner, a former federal judge who was appointed to the bench by President Bill Clinton. \u201cThen again, Washington is the seat of government. It\u2019s where all of this stuff happens.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">While some of the Trump cases are being heard in courts outside Washington \u2014 matters are pending in Maryland, Rhode Island and Massachusetts, for example \u2014 many of the proceedings are playing out in the capital, where politics is the impassioned local pastime.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">That has often meant that the judges handling these matters have faced a torrent of partisan abuse even as they struggle against the clock with complicated questions. They have suffered calls for impeachment from powerful figures like Mr. Musk and have also been subjected to verbal threats online.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Last week, Judge Carl J. Nichols, who was appointed by Mr. Trump, took the seemingly innocuous step of extending an order temporarily barring the U.S. Agency for International Development from involuntarily evacuating its employees from overseas assignments. Shortly after, someone posted a photo of him on social media with a caption reading, \u201cDOMESTIC ENEMY.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In a similar fashion, just hours after Judge Tanya S. Chutkan was assigned a case questioning Mr. Musk\u2019s role as a government employee, an ally of Mr. Trump attacked her online. She was singled out not only for being \u201can anti-Trump, Democrat, ACTIVIST JUDGE,\u201d but even more troublingly, for having been born outside the United States.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">While there have been many such accusations made against the judges in recent weeks, the claims of political bias have often not stood up when compared to their behavior in the courtroom.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Last Friday, for example, Judge Ana C. Reyes, a Biden appointee, tore into the lawyers for several fired inspectors general, threatening them with sanctions. Judge Reyes was upset that the lawyers had come to court asking her to force the Trump administration to give their clients back their jobs on an emergency same-day basis even though they had waited three weeks to make the request.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Four days later, the very same judge chided a Justice Department lawyer for avoiding answering questions about an order by Mr. Trump that sought, among other things, to keep transgender soldiers out of the military. The order, Judge Reyes declared, was marked by \u201cunadulterated animus.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In the flood of recent activity, it is easy to forget that the very first order by Mr. Trump that profoundly affected the judges in Washington was his grant of clemency to all of the nearly 1,600 people charged in connection with the attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The declaration, issued on Mr. Trump\u2019s first day back in office, effectively invalidated years of judicial consternation over tough legal questions concerning the appropriateness of certain criminal charges and the challenging process of handing down sentences to individual defendants who moved as part of a mob.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">More important, Mr. Trump and his allies have also used the decree to try to rewrite the story of Jan. 6 and accuse those involved in the proceedings stemming from it of being partisan or corrupt.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Some of the judges responded angrily to the clemency decree \u2014 especially its introduction, in which Mr. Trump declared that his actions were meant to end \u201ca grave national injustice that has been perpetrated upon the American people\u201d and to initiate \u201ca process of national reconciliation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Clearly offended by the president\u2019s words, Judge Beryl A. Howell issued a ruling saying that Mr. Trump\u2019s sweeping reprieves had raised \u201cthe dangerous specter of future lawless conduct by other poor losers\u201d and undermined the rule of law.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-6\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cNo \u2018process of national reconciliation\u2019 can begin when poor losers, whose preferred candidate loses an election, are glorified for disrupting a constitutionally mandated proceeding in Congress and doing so with impunity,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">As the new Trump cases touching on issues of presidential power move forward, the judges may confront another potential threat: that Mr. Trump and his subordinates simply refuse to comply with some of their orders.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-7\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">One of Washington\u2019s newest federal judges, Amir H. Ali, who was appointed to the bench just two months ago, is already facing that exact scenario.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">On Wednesday, lawyers representing a nonprofit group that fights the spread of AIDS asked Judge Ali to hold the State Department and U.S.A.I.D. in contempt. The lawyers claimed that the agencies had willfully violated an injunction by the judge that temporarily barred them from imposing a blanket freeze on nearly all aspects of U.S. foreign aid.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In an order issued on Thursday, Judge Ali acknowledged that his original injunction had given the agencies a measure of autonomy in deciding what funding programs they could stop \u2014 so long as there was a legal basis for doing so. But he also reaffirmed that a \u201cblanket suspension\u201d of aid was not allowed and would cause the plaintiffs harm.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In the end, Judge Ali took the cautious route, denying the request for contempt sanctions and simply reminding the Trump administration that it had to comply with his initial order.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The judge \u2014 and the rest of his colleagues on the bench \u2014 will now have to wait to see what happens next.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/02\/22\/us\/federal-judges-trump-executive-orders.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The decision this week by Judge Christopher R.
