‘The “presumption of regularity” is a boring-sounding but important phrase in the law. It signals the deference that courts have historically given the government. One of the Trump Justice Department’s latest legal losses highlights how his DOJ has lost that good faith from the judiciary — or some of the judiciary, anyway.
The latest defeat came late Tuesday from a divided panel of judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit. The topic was the Alien Enemies Act, the 18th-century law that President Donald Trump invoked to deport alleged Venezuelan gang members. The panel majority granted a preliminary injunction against the administration’s use of the law for deportations in Northern Texas.’

“…DOJ has lost that good faith from the judiciary…”
And appropriately so; Trump has only himself to blame.
Trump’s DOJ functions as a partisan weapon of the right, working in bad faith with contempt for the rule of law and Constitution.
The judiciary’s contempt is more than warranted.

The Trump Justice Department has lost the benefit of the doubt with (some) judges
A new ruling on the Alien Enemies Act provides a snapshot of the “presumption of regularity” that previous administrations have enjoyed.
