A top U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) official says certain federal judges are undermining President Donald Trump’s immigration and deportation agenda. DHS General Counsel James Percival made the allegation in remarks reported by Fox News, describing the judges as engaging in “judicial activism” that he says prevents the government from carrying out immigration enforcement actions. Percival argues that court decisions interfere with the administration’s efforts and characterizes the judges involved in these rulings as part of the “worst of the worst.”
Based on the available report, Percival does not change his position through new legislation or specific agency actions in the cited coverage, but instead focuses on criticizing the judiciary’s role in immigration-related cases. The Yahoo News item provided carries the same headline as the Fox report, though its details are not included in the supplied text. The coverage therefore centers on Percival’s claims rather than on a detailed account of the underlying cases or responses from the courts or the judges referenced.
