A series of federal judges have issued rulings that block or limit actions taken by the Trump administration. A judge ruled that former President Trump cannot use the Pentagon to bypass deportation restrictions. Another federal judge blocked the administration's efforts to dismantle three government agencies. Additionally, courts temporarily halted the Trump administration from imposing new conditions on housing and transit funding for cities including New York City, San Francisco, Seattle, and Boston, specifically preventing the withdrawal of funds over anti-diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) rules or other grant conditions related to homelessness and transit services.

Legal challenges have also targeted executive orders aimed at law firms, with firms like Perkins Coie LLP successfully contesting punitive orders, and others such as Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft striking deals with the administration that have nonetheless led to lawyer departures and operational uncertainty. Judges have emphasized that the administration cannot circumvent injunctions related to sanctuary cities funding. In a separate case, a federal judge temporarily blocked the Trump administration from transferring land to mining companies Rio Tinto and BHP for a copper mine project opposed by Native American groups, citing ongoing Supreme Court deliberations. These rulings collectively reflect judicial checks on the administration's executive actions across multiple policy areas including immigration, housing, legal practice regulation, and land use for mining.
