The judge hearing the Cook case once blocked Trump from carrying out mass deportations of immigrants.
Jin10 data reported on August 29 that, according to Politico, the judge Jia Cobb, who will rule on Trump's attempt to fire Federal Reserve Board of Governors member Cook, previously rejected another of Trump's signature measures to expand presidential powers: mass deportation of immigrants. Cobb was nominated to the federal court in 2021 by former President Biden. Earlier this month, Cobb blocked the Trump administration's plan to rapidly deport hundreds of thousands of immigrants fleeing violence or persecution in their home countries in an 84-page ruling. Cobb will preside over the initial phase of the Cook lawsuit, with a hearing scheduled for Friday at 10 a.m. Eastern Time. However, it is almost certain that she will not be the final decision-maker, as any ruling could be appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia and ultimately reach the Supreme Court.
