The Trump DOJ has controversially initiated interlocutory appeals, suggesting they can bypass standard legal procedures in response to rulings they oppose. In the recent case of Harris v. Bessent, where a temporary restraining order was issued, the government has contested the ruling and requested immediate attention from the DC Circuit. This approach signals an ongoing trend from the administration that raises concerns about legal norms and the perceived authority of the executive in judicial matters, illustrating a possible disregard for established procedural rules.
This morning the government filed a notice of appeal to the DC Circuit in Harris v. Bessent, where a TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER was issued by Judge Contreras.
The Trump DOJ has taken an unorthodox procedural stance with respect to interlocutory appeals, assuming they can lodge them whenever a judge issues an unfavorable ruling.
