Trump Administration Suffers Three Major Legal Setbacks

**Trump Administration Faces Triple Legal Blow** On May 28th, 2025, President Trump's administration suffered three major legal defeats in federal courts. These rulings significantly impact his immigration and trade policies. A Boston District Court judge blocked the administration's attempt to end Biden-era migrant parole programs. This decision means that the programs, which provide relief for migrants living in the US under parole status, will continue. The judge's ruling stated that the administration's actions were unlawful. Separately, a federal judge in New Jersey ruled that the administration's efforts to deport Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia University graduate and green card holder, were likely unconstitutional. Khalil, currently in ICE detention in Louisiana, is challenging his potential deportation. "The court recognized the injustice of this case," stated one of Khalil's supporters. Adding to the administration's woes, the US Court of International Trade blocked Trump's attempt to impose sweeping tariffs on almost all goods coming from abroad. The court found that the president lacked the authority to impose these tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. These three rulings represent a significant legal setback for Trump's administration, highlighting the limitations of executive power.
