Plaintiffs suing Trump administration bring cases in districts with few or no Trump-appointed judges

President Donald Trump‘s second administration has seen numerous lawsuits challenging its actions. While plaintiffs have had some success in halting his executive orders, at least temporarily, most of the cases have been brought in jurisdictions with few, if any, judges appointed by Trump.

Plaintiffs have filed 107 cases in the District of Columbia’s district court. There are only four Trump-appointed judges in the district, which has been the venue for the most cases against his administration, as the federal government largely conducts its business in D.C.
