The Trump administration is standing strong against liberal judges who keep blocking their efforts to protect America. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt recently called out what she called “judge-shopping” by left-wing groups trying to stop President Trump’s immigration crackdown. She accused Democrats of shopping around for friendly judges to sabotage the White House’s agenda.
Judge James Boasberg is a prime example of this judicial activism. He temporarily halted deportations of foreign criminals under the Alien Enemies Act – a law letting presidents remove threats during wartime. Leavitt pointed out that Boasberg was elevated to the federal bench by Barack Obama and has a history of opposing Trump’s policies. She didn’t hold back, calling him a “Democrat activist” masquerading as a neutral judge.
The administration isn’t backing down. They’re moving forward with mass deportations despite these legal roadblocks. Leavitt stressed that President Trump has clear authority under the Constitution to secure the border and remove dangerous individuals. She argued that activist judges are overstepping their role by interfering with core executive functions.
This fight isn’t just about one judge. Multiple courts have tried to block Trump’s policies – from ending woke diversity programs to defunding sanctuary cities. Leavitt warned that these rulings threaten national security and make Americans less safe. She praised Trump for respecting the Supreme Court while standing up to lower court judges who legislate from the bench.
The White House sees a pattern here. Every time they try to fulfill campaign promises – whether firing incompetent bureaucrats or cutting funding for radical NGOs – left-wing groups run to Obama-appointed judges to block them. Leavitt vowed the administration will keep fighting these unfair rulings all the way to the Supreme Court where she believes common sense will prevail.
At its core, this is about who gets to make policy – elected leaders or unaccountable judges. The Trump team believes fiercely in the separation of powers. They argue that presidents have clear authority over immigration enforcement, not judges with political agendas. As long as these legal challenges continue, Leavitt says the administration will keep defending the rule of law and the will of the American people.
This standoff shows why elections matter. President Trump was voted in to shake up the system and put America first. Activist judges trying to preserve the failed status quo won’t stop him from doing what’s right. The White House remains committed to draining the swamp, even if every step faces resistance from the deep state and their judicial allies.
In the end, this battle strengthens Trump’s message. It proves he’s the only leader willing to confront the powerful forces working against everyday Americans. While the left plays games with the courts, Trump stays focused on delivering results and keeping our communities safe from threats both foreign and domestic.
