As the head of the executive branch, Trump holds full authority over federal personnel decisions, as outlined in Article II of the Constitution. However, Alsup’s ruling undermines this principle, granting himself the power to override the President’s decisions and force the rehiring of bureaucrats Trump had dismissed as part of federal workforce reductions.
Leavitt did not mince words when responding to this judicial overreach, making it clear the administration will not stand idly by.
The left-wing media, predictably, attempted to twist the situation, pressing Leavitt on whether the administration planned to “defy” Alsup’s order, trying to manufacture a so-called “constitutional crisis.”
Leavitt fired back, setting the record straight: the real crisis is already here, created by radical judges like Alsup who are hijacking federal policy and overriding the will of the voters.
“Fighting back by appealing, fighting back by using the full weight of the White House Counsel’s Office and our lawyers at the federal government who believe that this injunction is entirely unconstitutional,” Leavitt declared.
She also reminded Americans that Alsup’s authority as a district court judge is derived from Congress, not the Constitution, and that he has no legitimate power to dictate executive policy.
“And it is, for anybody who has a basic understanding of the law. You cannot have a low-level district court judge filing an injunction to usurp the executive authority of the President of the United States. That is completely absurd!” Leavitt continued.
Radical activist judges have been launching an all-out legal assault on Trump from the moment he took office. In just his first month back in the White House, district courts have already issued 15 nationwide injunctions against his administration—more than Biden faced in his first three years combined.

“And as I just cited, I was appalled by the statistic when I saw it this morning. In three, or in one month, in February, there have been 15 injunctions of this administration and our agenda.” Leavitt stated. “In three years under the Biden administration, there were 14 injunctions.”
The playbook is clear: Democrats are turning the judiciary into another partisan weapon, just as they did with politically motivated prosecutions against candidate Trump.
“So it’s very clear that there are judicial activists throughout our judicial branch who are trying to block this president’s executive authority,” Leavitt exclaimed.
But just as Trump overcame the relentless lawfare during the 2024 election, Leavitt made one thing clear: this fight is far from over, and Trump will win again.
“We are going to fight back. And as anyone who saw President Trump and his legal team fighting back, they know how to do it. He was indicted nearly 200 times and he’s in the Oval Office now because of all of the indictments, all of these injunctions have always been unconstitutional and unfair,” Leavitt concluded.
The battle lines are drawn, and President Trump is ready to take on the deep state, the activist judiciary, and the corrupt establishment standing in the way of the American people.
