0:27Now PlayingThe White House said Wednesday that court rulings going against the Trump administration are coming from “judicial activists” on the bench whose decisions amount to a "constitutional crisis.”
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt made the comments as she pushed back against critics of Republican President Donald Trump's expansive actions.
“We believe these judges are acting as judicial activists rather than honest arbiters of the law," Leavitt said.
Trump's moves in the first weeks of his second term to remark the federal government and fulfill his campaign promises have been met with more than 50 lawsuits. Judges have blocked, at least temporarily, his effort to end birthright citizenship, permit access to Treasury Department records by billionaire Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency and roll out a mass deferred resignation plan for federal workers.
