An analysis reveals a troubling trend of the Trump administration's defiance of US court rulings, especially concerning immigration policies. After a federal judge blocked a policy to detain immigrants without bond, the administration continued its practices, prompting accusations of terrorizing immigrants and undermining the separation of powers. In the first 15 months of Trump's second term, district court judges ruled against the administration in 31 lawsuits, reflecting a broader pattern of violations across various issues, including deportations and spending cuts.
