... A federal judge on Tuesday threw out the Trump administration's lawsuit against Maryland's entire federal bench over an order by the chief judge that stopped the immediate deportation of migrants challenging their removals.

U.S. District Judge Thomas Cullen granted a request by the judges to toss the case, saying to do otherwise "would run counter to overwhelming precedent, depart from longstanding constitutional tradition, and offend the rule of law."

"In their wisdom, the Constitution's framers joined three coordinate branches to establish a single sovereign," Mr. Cullen wrote. "That structure may occasionally engender clashes between two branches and encroachment by one branch on another's authority. But mediating those disputes must occur in a manner that respects the Judiciary's constitutional role."

The White House had no immediate comment. ...
