Trump's Second Term Marks 100 Days, Over 200 Lawsuits

In the first 100 days of Donald Trump’s second term, his administration has issued over 150 executive orders targeting immigration, government spending, and diversity initiatives, leading to more than 200 lawsuits and over 70 legal setbacks in federal courts. Major controversies include executive orders seeking to expedite deportations under the Alien Enemies Act, deny birthright citizenship, and restrict transgender rights, all of which have faced sharp judicial resistance and temporary blocks. The Supreme Court has intervened in high-profile cases, such as halting the deportation of Venezuelan men accused of gang affiliations. Trump's strategy of rapid executive action has sparked a constitutional clash over the limits of presidential power, with critics arguing that his approach undermines legal norms, while supporters claim it enables swift policy change. Legal experts highlight a growing tension between the executive and judicial branches, as courts grapple with the scope and legality of Trump’s agenda. Despite mounting legal challenges, Trump maintains he respects the Supreme Court, though critics allege his administration is eroding traditional checks and balances.
