<p>Trump has made a strong comeback in his second presidential term which started January 20 this year. Lacking a majority in Congress, the political opposition of the Democrats is weak but that of federal judges seems to be getting in Trump’s way of putting the country back on track. And not all of the judges bumping the MAGA mission are leftist.</p>



<p>Last month, federal judge George O’Toole Jr. of Boston (MA) blocked the Trump administration’s plan to buy out thousands of federal government workers. O’Toole Jr., appointed by Bill Clinton, lifted his restraining order a few days later to allow the Trump admin plan to proceed. But the short-lived blockage was a teaser for the judicial battle brewing up against Trump’s future actions as the President.</p>



<p>In the final week of February, Judge Theodore Chuang of Maryland blocked the Trump administration from carrying out immigration raids in certain places of worship. The preliminary injunction of the Obama-appointed judge came in response to a lawsuit by a group of religious organizations that complained about a drop in attendance at their worship places since the Trump administration declared a crackdown on illegal aliens. The <em>New York Post</em> reported (February 24) that the religious organizations complaining about the immigration raids were represented by the left-wing nonprofit Democracy Forward.</p>



<p>One of the most contentious cases of leftist judges getting in the way of Trump’s effort to implement its MAGA policies came around mid-February when Judge Amir Ali of Washington D.C. blocked President Trump’s order to cut foreign aid. Judge Ali, appointed by Joe Biden, ordered the Trump administration to restore funding for foreign aid contractors. The Trump administration challenged Judge Ali’s order in the Supreme Court (SCOTUS) where conservatives have a 6-3 majority.</p>



<p>However, the SCOTUS dealt a blow to the Trump administration on Wednesday (March 5) by ruling in favor of upholding Judge Ali’s order. MAGA conservatives were shocked to see not only Chief Justice John Roberts siding with the leftist justices on the bench but also Justice Amy Coney Barrett, who was appointed by Trump in 2020. Conservatives slammed Justice Barrett on social media and called her a back-stabber working against America.</p>

<p>Emboldened by the SCOTUS ruling, Judge Ali quickly issued another order to the Trump administration on Thursday, dictating them to start paying the foreign aid contractors by 6 p.m. Monday (March 10).</p>



<p>Yet another Obama-appointed federal judge jumped up in front of the Trump administration last weekend in the case of sacking Special Counsel Hampton Dellinger. Dellinger was appointed by Biden as the special counsel in charge of handling whistleblower cases. Trump fired Dellinger last month but Judge Amy Berman Jackson of D.C. reinstated him and even admonished the Trump administration not to interfere with Dellinger’s office or position as the Special Counsel. The case ended up in the SCOTUS. However, Dellinger announced soon thereafter that he is ending his legal fight to keep the office after the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled in favor of the Trump administration allowing his termination from the Special Counsel office.</p>
