President Donald Trump is escalating his confrontation with the judiciary after a federal judge blocked his administration’s use of a wartime authority to deport alleged Venezuelan gang members.
A three-judge panel is reviewing the case, with at least two judges suggesting the judiciary has the power to check Trump's actions. Meanwhile, House Republicans are considering hearings and legislation to limit the ability of federal judges to block the president’s policies. This marks the latest chapter in Trump's broader struggle with the courts over executive authority.
The outcome could have significant implications for the balance of power between the executive and judicial branches.
