The latest federal court ruling has dealt a major setback to the Trump administration's nationwide redistricting plan. A three-judge panel ruled 2-1 to freeze Texas' new congressional district map, which would have made five districts more favorable to Republicans. The majority opinion stated that the 2025 updated map, pushed through by the Trump administration, "is likely unconstitutional" and constitutes illegal racial gerrymandering, ordering Texas to revert to the 2021 version. Federal district judge Jeffrey Brown, who wrote the majority opinion, said the new map almost met all of the Department of Justice's "racial targets." This ruling not only directly affects Texas' district layout but also severely undermines the White House's political strategy for redistricting nationwide.
