Attorney General Anthony Brown praised a federal court ruling blocking parts of former President Trump’s elections executive order, calling it a victory for protecting Maryland voters’ rights as legal challenges continue.
Per the news release distributed on Friday, June 13: “Attorney General Anthony G. Brown today issued the following statement on a decision by the District Court for the District of Massachusetts granting a preliminary injunction blocking unlawful provisions in President Donald Trump’s unprecedented elections executive order. Attorney General Brown joined a coalition of 19 attorneys general in filing a lawsuit challenging the order in April 2025.
“This ruling blocks President Trump’s unlawful Executive Order that would silence the voices of millions of Maryland voters, leaving them powerless to participate in our democracy. As this case continues, our Office will keep defending the right of every single Maryland voter to have a say in how their government operates and who should represent them, the cornerstone of our democracy. We will not let the president hijack our elections.”
