An appointee of Trump's predecessor, President Barack Obama, U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan has ruled against the Trump administration in the past, as well as against Trump as an individual.
Hunter Biden's Old Law Firm Although Chutkan, 61, earned a reputation for taking a hard line on sentences for Jan. 6 rioters, her background before the bench is one of defending accused criminals-white-collar defendants and those who couldn't afford lawyers.
Jan. 6 vs. George Floyd Riots Chutkan was indignant about comparisons between the riots that broke out in cities across the country after the May 2020 police-involved killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis and the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot.
The AP has reported that Chutkan was the only judge of about two dozen presiding over prosecutions of some 600 Jan. 6 defendants who routinely imposed sentences that exceeded what federal prosecutors had asked for.
'Presidents Are Not Kings' Ruling vs. Trump In November 2021, Chutkan ruled against Trump, who as a plaintiff filed an emergency motion to prevent the National Archives from providing information to the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6 Attack on the Capitol.
Two Rulings vs. Trump Administration In 2017, the first year of the Trump administration, Chutkan ruled that the Office of Refugee Resettlement must allow a juvenile illegal immigrant in the custody of Immigration and Customs Enforcement to have an abortion.
In 2019, Chutkan ruled that Trump's education secretary, Betsy DeVos, illegally delayed the implementation of the "Equity in IDEA" regulations that update how states calculate racial disparities in special education.
