MARYLAND (WBFF) — Maryland Attorney General Anthony Brown first sued Donald Trump on Jan. 21, 2025, the day after he was inaugurated to his second White House term, over the president’s attempt to ban birthright citizenship.
Since then, Brown has set a dizzying pace. As the State of Maryland’s attorney, he has sued Trump and his administration on average once a week, not including the legal briefs or cases where he joined other states. That’s 62 times, so far. Nationwide, more than 650 lawsuits have been filed against the Trump administration.
“If the Trump administration continues to take actions that hurt our state and its residents,” according to a litigation tracker on the Attorney General’s website, “our office will stand up for Marylanders and challenge those actions in court.”
The Trump administration, meanwhile, has dismissed the wave of state lawsuits, calling them “politically motivated” and aimed at blocking its agenda. The administration has aggressively defended its policies in court by filing nearly two dozen countersuits and threatening to withhold federal funding from opposing jurisdictions.
