It’s only four months into Donald Trump’s second term as president, and his administration already seems fed up with all the paperwork.

The administration has responded on two fronts to a court order requiring that it provide potential deportees with the “meaningful opportunity” to challenge their deportations in court: With a legal challenge and declaration from State Secretary Marco Rubio, and rhetorical attacks on social media.

Late Saturday night, the Department of Justice posted in its entirety their legal challenge to an order from M.A. District Judge Brian Murphy blocking the Trump administration from deporting immigrants to third countries.

In the motion, the DOJ argues that the requirement that the Department of Homeland Security provide detainees with the opportunity to challenge their deportations is “burdensome” because the DHS is required to “maintain custody and control” of the detainees and conduct interviews regarding any reasonable fears they may have about being deported to third countries in private at a time of the detainees’ choosing.
