Timothy J. Kelly

Timothy J. Kelly is a United States District Judge for the District of Columbia, nominated by President Donald Trump. He is known for his involvement in significant legal cases, particularly those related to immigration and executive power. In September 2019, he gained attention for blocking the Trump administration's attempt to deport Guatemalan migrant children, emphasizing the lack of evidence supporting the administration's claims that the children's parents sought their return. His rulings reflect his judicial interpretation of immigration laws and the protections afforded to vulnerable populations.
