During an interview with Thursday on FNC’s “Fox & Friends,” Vice President JD Vance said the Trump administration was prepared for liberal judges at the federal level interfering with deportation efforts.

Vance said the Trump administration was willing to litigate all the way to the Supreme Court.

“We can limit the jurisdiction of certain courts,” Vance said. “Even when certain courts make a ruling, say that you’re not allowed to deport a person for a certain reason, we can still deport that person for another reason. So it’s not like deportations have stopped, but yes, the radical courts are a problem. But our view here is we knew we were going to have this fight. We were prepared for it.”

Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich testified before a House panel on Tuesday to warn of the “constitutional crisis” being forced on America thanks to the radical, out-of-control judges illegally attempting to crush a duly elected president.

Issa’s subcommittee held a joint hearing with the House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution and Limited Government on Tuesday where Gingrich appeared.

“Fifteen district judges effectively seized control of various executive branch duties in the first six weeks of the current presidency through nationwide injunctions,” Gingrich explained. “This is potentially a judicial coup d’état and clearly violates the Constitution and more than 200 years of American history.”

I need every single person who actually cares about the constitution and preserving this constitutional republic to listen to Newt Gangrich’s opening statement at this hearing on judicial overreach.

U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson ruled in a March 28 opinion that the Trump administration couldn’t unilaterally shut down the CFPB, with the prospect being out of its jurisdiction. On Thursday, a three-judge panel on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit paused Jackson’s halt. It clarified that its ruling didn’t regard the argument’s merits but rather allowed the courts more time to consider the matter.

“The purpose of this administrative stay is to give the court sufficient opportunity to consider the emergency motion for stay pending appeal and should not be construed in any way as a ruling on the merits of that motion,” the panel wrote.

The CFPB will remain open and operative during the period of review.

The bureau was one of the earliest and most controversial targets of Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) founded the bureau after the 2008 financial crisis to help consumers. Critics argued that it drifted from its original purpose, becoming an opaque agency that abused its authority, pursuing targets such as a community-focused financial lending company.

One of its critics, Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL), introduced legislation in February to abolish it altogether, saying it had gone “rogue.”

House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan is asking top House appropriators to add language to the appropriations bills to clamp down on out-of-control federal judges.

In a letter to Appropriations Committee Chair Tom Cole (R-Okla.), Jordan urged House Republicans to make a move to support Trump.

The Ohio Republican also said he wants language to funding for the issuance and enforcement of nationwide injunctions. That would include the use of court resources to compel compliance, fines or contempt proceedings related to such injunctions.

“These steps would reinforce the proper limits of judicial power and ensure that taxpayer resources support a judiciary that respects its constitutional role,” Jordan wrote.

We’re arguably amidst a judicial insurrection that hasn’t been lost on anyone, especially within the Trump White House and on Capitol Hill. The Trump administration knew it would face opposition; this isn’t their first rodeo. It doesn’t make it any less infuriating, however. The only difference is that the president has an army of lawyers and an attorney general at the helm to help defend his lawful executive orders aimed at securing the border, deporting illegal aliens, reducing regulations, and rebuilding our military. You saw how many he signed on day one of his presidency. Members of the Republican Study Committee spoke about this on their recent podcast.

Elections are supposed to be decided at the ballot box, not in the courtroom—unless you’re French or, in this country, a liberal.

What a judge in France has just done by disqualifying Marine Le Pen from running in that nation’s next presidential election is what Democrats dream of doing here.

The controversial populist was ahead in the polls, but now Le Pen isn’t even eligible to run, thanks to a court that found her guilty of using European Union funds to pay for political expenses.

She insists the spending was legitimate, but as things stand French voters won’t get to decide for themselves who’s right.

The Senate Judiciary Committee holds a hearing on judges using universal injunctions to block President Donald Trump’s executive orders on Wednesday, April 2.

The hearing, titled “Rule by District Judges II: Exploring Legislative Solutions to the Bipartisan Problem of Universal Injunctions,” will examine what Congress can do in response to lone district judges acting to block the implementation of Trump’s orders across the entire country.

The House held a similar hearing on Tuesday as the Supreme Court remains uninvolved in resolving the conflict between the executive and judicial branches of government.

A federal judge in California on Tuesday temporarily blocked a Trump administration policy that ended legal funding for migrant children. Without the ruling, thousands of children would face greater obstacles to remaining in the United States.

The Trump administration canceled a contract with the Acacia Center for Justice, which provides legal help to migrant children under 18 through subcontractors. Several subcontractor groups sued over the order, arguing that 26,000 children were at risk of losing their attorneys.

“The Court additionally finds that the continued funding of legal representation for unaccompanied children promotes efficiency and fairness within the immigration system,” she wrote.

A Barack Obama-appointed activist federal judge has blocked President Donald Trump’s plan to deport over 350,000 migrants from Venezuela.

U.S. District Judge Edward Chen issued a temporary injunction against the Trump administration.

The move blocks the Trump administration from ending the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for approximately 350,000 Venezuelans living in the United States.

The TPS status was granted under former President Joe Biden’s administration.

Excerpt:

On Friday, radical far-left Judge Amy Berman Jackson blocked the dismantling of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, once again overstepping her authority.

She’s one of the many rogue judges working to strip power from the executive branch.

Berman Jackson, like many of her Obama-appointed peers, has used her position as a District Court Judge to relentlessly target and harass Republicans and Trump supporters.

In February, after the Trump administration gutted the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), Berman Jackson stepped in to halt the mass firings.

She also ordered the defendants to preserve all data and records.
