Trump's DOJ is Openly Subverting Justice in America

According to an American myth George Washington once cut down a cherry tree on his parent's estate (for unknown reasons) and when asked by his father who chopped it down George reportedly said, "I cannot tell a lie. I did it."

Fast forward to October 2026 as a furious federal judge demands to know who illegally cut down 400 cherry blossom trees at the East Potomac Golf Course in Washington D.C.

U.S. District Court Judge Ana Reyes, who mandated that the regime provide reasonable advance notice before removing more than 10 trees, expressed immense frustration Tuesday with the regime's "gamesmanship" and stated that the government had "lost all credibility" by filing a notice late on a Friday evening immediately before executing the mass cutting.

Judge Reyes then issued an emergency freeze to halt all tree removal, but it was too late and after the fact. This method of ignoring federal rulings and going through with Trump's pet projects - like the golden ballroom - has been repeatedly used throughout his second term.

Despite at least 77 court rulings concerning Trump's second term that include sharp criticism from judges the assault against justice is ongoing. 

Trump and his weaponized Department of Justice have faced extensive accusations from federal judges for flouting or bypassing court orders in at least 31 lawsuits during its first 15 months in office. That number has increased since April as the DOJ continued to openly defy court orders.

The defiance of the DOJ was evident when their lawyers brought an unprecedented lawsuit targeting every judge on the District Court of Maryland after they imposed a temporary freeze on certain deportations to protect due process. 

The Trump regime dropped the lawsuit after U.S. District Judge Thomas Cullen dismissed the illegal attempt instead of challenging the lower court's ruling.

The attacks against the rule of law by the DOJ continue to this day. Most notably, the DOJ has 21 active lawsuits challenging state-level tuition laws. These cases, which include recent filings against states such as Arizona, New Mexico, Oregon, and Washington, challenge state measures that provide reduced tuition rates and financial assistance to undocumented students.

I should point out that the courts have made good and bad decisions, but the good ones have been really important. On Oct. 9. 2026 a federal court in DC issued a summary judgement to plaintiffs in an important opinion on the DOJ's quest to seize state voting records. 

The opinion was an indictment of the entire scam that the DOJ was trying to pull off. It was illegal from the get-go. 

The court flat out stated that the DOJ wasn't authorized to collect files under any of the statutes that the DOJ brought up. 

Trump's weaponized DOJ violated federal law (The Privacy Act and the Paperwork Reduction Act) in collecting files from 18 states, in disclosing them to unidentified contractors, in sending them off to DHS, and, effectively, in introducing error into the process by getting inaccurate data back from the SAVE database DHS has by now rendered substantially less accurate.

As it Stands, how ironic it is having a Department of Justice defy state and federal laws in favor of a convicted felon and sexual abuser with dementia.
