Democrats have pledged to fight Trump in the courts and ‘in the streets’

Dozens of activist and legal groups, elected officials, local jurisdictions and individuals have launched more than 200 lawsuits against the Trump administration since Jan. 20 in response to his more than 90 executive orders, as well as executive proclamations and memos, Fox News Digital found. 

Trump has long been a legal target, which hit a fever pitch during the 2024 election cycle when Trump faced four criminal indictments, including a criminal trial in Manhattan in the spring of 2024 when he was found guilty on 34 counts of falsifying business records. 

Trump has maintained his innocence in the four cases, pointing to them as evidence of lawfare at the hands of Democrats working against his political efforts. 

Upon Trump’s election win in November 2024, state attorneys general, such as New York Attorney General Letitia James, publicly said they would prepare legal battles against the Trump administration for actions they view as illegal or negatively impact residents.
