The judiciary has taken a proactive stance in recent legal battles against the Trump administration's policies. Notably, judges have halted indiscriminate firings by the Department of Government Efficiency, scrutinized military enlistment bans for transgender individuals, and questioned the legality of funding caps for NIH grants. Judges such as Theodore Chuang have pushed back against unilateral actions like the dismantling of USAID, signaling a robust commitment to uphold constitutional rights and protect agency operations from executive overreach.
Judges are now very much on the front line, pressing pause on efforts to fire employees in federal agencies, question military enlistment bans, and stop cap enforcement.
Judge Theodore Chuang's scathing ruling against DOGE's dismantling of USAID emphasizes the necessity of congressional input, showcasing the judiciary's role in protecting constitutional norms.
