Legal affairs of the second Trump presidency

At the beginning of Donald Trump's second presidential term, he signed a series of executive orders. Many of these tested his legal authority, and drew immediate legal action. He issued more executive orders on his first day than any previous president. In the administration's first two months, 127 lawsuits were filed against it, according to data from New York University. In his first weeks, several of his actions ignored or violated federal laws, regulations, and the Constitution according to American legal scholars.

Many cases have been brought in response to , establishing the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Trump identified billionaire and tech CEO, Elon Musk, as leading DOGE, although he did not hold the office of DOGE Administrator. Musk began federal cost-cutting measures, including layoffs, shutting down departments and agencies, ending aid, and removing programs, such as diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives.

The Trump administration has claimed that they have wide powers to bypass Congressional oversight, while many others believe these actions to be unconstitutional. By mid-July, a Washington Post analysis found he defied judges and the courts in roughly one third of all cases against him, actions which were described by legal experts as unprecedented for any presidential administration. His defiance of court orders and a claimed right to disobey the courts raised fears among legal experts of a constitutional crisis.

Federal judges found many of the administration's actions to be illegal. By August 2025, several grant terminations and spending freezes were found by judges and the Government Accountability Office as being illegal and unconstitutional. His attempt to remove birthright citizenship was called "blatantly unconstitutional" by Reagan-appointed judge John C. Coughenour, and judges have also described other actions to be unconstitutional such as his unprecedented targeting of law firms and lawyers as part of his wider actions targeting political opponents and civil society.

Multiple analyses conducted by academic scholars and The New York Times found that both Republican and Democratic judicial appointees have found numerous constitutional and statutory flaws with Trump administration policies. On June 27, 2025, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Trump v. CASA that universal injunctions cannot be issued by a federal district court. Following this decision, preliminary injunction may only provide relief for a plaintiff and may not block the implementation of the orders nationwide.

Tracking the cases

Several organizations are tracking the cases that have been filed against the second Trump administration, including the Associated Press, the Civil Rights Litigation Clearinghouse, Court Watch, Just Security, Lawfare, and The Washington Post. These organizations vary in the number of cases they're tracking, whether and how they group kinds of cases, how much information is provided about each case, whether and how they characterize cases' progress, and whether they link to the case docket. For example, as of January 3, 2026, the Associated Press was tracking 358 cases, grouping them in one of 14 categories (e.g., "Immigration"), describing each with a phrase or sentence, characterizing their progress in one of three ways (i.e., "Partially or fully blocked: 149", "Court left in effect: 102", and "Pending: 107"), and not linking to the case dockets, whereas Just Security was tracking 552 cases, grouping them into more and narrower categories (e.g., "Immigration enforcement against places of worship and schools", "Immigration and citizenship", "Access of lawyers to immigrants in detention"), describing each with one or more paragraphs, characterizing their progress in more and narrower categories (e.g., "Government Action Blocked Pending Appeal: 28", "Case Closed/Dismissed in Favor of Government: 22"), and linking to each case's docket.

Proclamation 10903, pertaining to the Alien Enemies Act

J.G.G. v. Trump (D.D.C.) is a class action and habeas corpus lawsuit brought by five Venezuelan men in immigration custody, contesting Trump's invocation of the Alien Enemies Act (AEA) in presidential proclamation 10903 and the attempt to deport Venezuelan citizens in the US who are alleged to be members of the criminal organization Tren de Aragua. The district court judge granted temporary restraining order for the five plaintiffs and then, after certifying the class, granted another temporary restraining order for the class. The Trump administration appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, which denied the appeal, and then to the Supreme Court, which vacated the temporary restraining orders, stating that any challenges to removal under the AEA must be brought as a habeas corpus petitions, which requires that the petition be filed in the district where a petitioner is detained, and since the petitioners were detained in Texas, their petition in the District of Columbia had been filed in the wrong jurisdiction. The court did not reach whether the use of the AEA to deport the men was constitutional, nor whether it applied to the plaintiffs. It added that the government had to give anyone it sought to deport under the AEA enough notice that they could file habeas complaints challenging their removal. Related cases were then filed in other districts.
