Trump Administration Faces Over 220 Lawsuits in First 100 Days

In President Donald Trump’s first 100 days of his second term, his administration has faced an unprecedented wave of over 200 lawsuits challenging nearly every aspect of his agenda, particularly on immigration, diversity and equity initiatives, and federal funding cuts. Federal judges have frequently intervened, blocking or pausing several of Trump’s executive actions, including efforts to end birthright citizenship, defund refugee resettlement, freeze federal assistance, and implement restrictions on transgender military service. While the administration has secured some legal victories, the majority of rulings have curtailed its ability to carry out key policies, especially those seen as overreaches of executive authority. Democratic attorneys general, such as Massachusetts’ Andrea Campbell, have played a prominent role in organizing challenges, collaborating across states and winning injunctions that halt the administration’s policies from taking effect. Supporters of Trump praise his aggressive push to implement campaign promises, while opponents characterize his actions as unlawful and damaging to vulnerable groups. The legal battles highlight a deeply polarized nation, with the courts becoming the primary arena for holding the administration accountable.
