Baltimore, MD - June 25, 2025 - The Department of Justice has filed an unprecedented lawsuit against all of Maryland's active federal judges.
Attorneys representing the federal government issued a scathing rebuke of the Maryland District Court's recently issued standing order barring the Trump Administration from deporting any illegal immigrant contesting their removal under Habeas Corpus.
Chief Judge George L. Russell III, an appointee of former President Barack Obama, posted the order back in May.
The order doesn't stem from a particular Habeas case, but applies to any brought now or in the future.
In their Tuesday lawsuit, the DOJ calls the order "unlawful" and "invalid."
The government suggests knowing the Chief judge's reasoning behind the order.

A former top aide to President Joe Biden said she was authorized to direct autopen signatures but was unaware of who in the president's inner circle was giving her final clearance, according to a source familiar with the aide's closed-door testimony in front of Congress Tuesday.
Neera Tanden, the former director of Biden's Domestic Policy Council, testified for hours Tuesday during an interview in front of the House Oversight Committee, which is investigating the former president's mental acuity and his use of an automatic signature tool that allowed aides to sign pardons, memos and other important documents on Biden's behalf.
During Tanden's interview before Congress, which lasted more than five hours, she told lawmakers that, in her role as...

(New York Jewish Week) — In a stunning upset, New York State Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani, who has been dogged by accusations of antisemitism over his harsh criticism of Israel, defeated Andrew Cuomo in New York City’s Democratic mayoral primary.
Cuomo, the former New York governor — who had earned endorsements from the likes of powerful Democrats like Bill Clinton and made fighting antisemitism a core part of his campaign — conceded to Mamdani, the 33-year-old democratic socialist, around 10 p.m. on Tuesday night.
“Tonight was not our night,” Cuomo, 67, said to supporters gathered at a watch party. “Tonight is his night. He deserved it. He won.”
Until the last weeks of the long campaign season, Cuomo, who resigned as governor in 2021 ...

Columbus, OH — June 24, 2025 - Today, in a Franklin County Court decision, Judge Jaiza Page ruled that Ohio’s EdChoice private school voucher program is unconstitutional, asserting that the program unlawfully diverts state funds from public schools.
Agudath Israel strongly disagrees with this decision and believes it fails to consider the fundamental rights of families to choose the best educational setting for their children, as well as past precedent.
“While we profoundly respect the judicial process, we vehemently disagree with the court’s interpretation of Ohio’s Constitution and believe the EdChoice program remains a constitutionally sound mechanism to empower families,” said Rabbi Yitz Frank, Executive Director of Agudath Israel of Ohi...

Annapolis, MD - June 24, 2025 - Maryland plans to implement a hiring freeze next month as state officials examine options to cut costs.
The governor's office outlined in an email sent to state workers on Tuesday the state's efforts. Gov. Wes Moore said a state hiring freeze will take effect on July 1.
This comes as state leaders are working to find "cost savings and enhanced efficiency" without personnel reductions, such as consolidating facilities.
"As a critical means to achieve that end, the budget requires the executive branch to make $121 million in General Fund personnel cost reductions in fiscal year 2026," Moore said in the email that was sent from the Maryland Department of Budget and Management.
