A quick fact check says….
Since 2000, federal judges blocking deportations of undocumented immigrants include:
• Democratic-appointed judges: 7 (5 Obama, 2 Biden)
• Notable cases: Blocks on Trump’s 2025 deportation policies, including third-country removals and Alien Enemies Act usage (e.g., Judges Boasberg, Murphy, Russell, Xinis).
• Republican-appointed judges: 1 (Trump)
• Case: Judge Rodriguez Jr. blocked Alien Enemies Act deportations in 2025.
Summary: Of the 8 identified judges blocking deportations since 2000, 7 were appointed by Democratic presidents and 1 by a Republican president, based on 2025 cases. Limited data pre-2025 restricts broader analysis.
