Mary Miller, a representative for Illinois' 15th Congressional District, announced her support for the No Rogue Rulings Act to limit judicial overreach and protect executive authority. She made this statement in a Facebook post on April 9.

"Activist judges are working overtime to block President Trump and derail the America First agenda," said Miller, U.S. Representative, according to Facebook. "Today, I proudly voted for the No Rogue Rulings Act to rein them in. Now it's the Senate's turn — pass this bill and restore our constitutional order!"

The No Rogue Rulings Act of 2025 was introduced by Representative Darrell Issa from California's 48th Congressional District on February 24. The bill seeks to restrict the authority of U.S. district courts to issue injunctive relief, permitting such orders only when they apply to parties directly involved in the case or non-parties represented in a representative capacity.

According to The Hill, the legislation includes a provision that requires cases involving challenges to executive branch actions by two or more states in different circuits to be referred to a panel of three randomly selected judges. This panel is not chosen by the circuit’s chief judge and may issue an injunction after considering factors such as justice, potential irreparable harm to non-parties, and maintaining the separation of powers.

The Hill reports that this legislation was prompted by U.S. District Court Judge James Boasberg’s decision to temporarily block the Trump administration from deporting Venezuelan nationals under the Alien Enemies Act. President Trump has called for Boasberg’s removal following this decision. A similar bill has been introduced in the Senate by Republican Senator Chuck Grassley.

Miller currently serves in Congress representing Illinois' 15th District after succeeding John Shimkus in 2021. She holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Eastern Illinois University and was born in Oak Park, Illinois, in 1959. Now residing in Oakland at age 63, she manages her fourth-generation family farm with her husband.
