On September 8,2014,President Barack Obama nominated Gilliam to serve as a United States District Judge of the United States District Court for the Northern District of California,to the seat vacated by Judge Claudia Ann Wilken,who assumed senior status in December 2014. [4] [5] He received a hearing before the United States Senate Committee on the Judiciary on September 17,2014. [6] On November 20,2014 his nomination was reported out of committee by voice vote. [7] On December 13,2014 Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid filed a motion to invoke cloture on the nomination. On December 16,2014,Reid withdrew his cloture motion on Gilliam Jr.'s nomination,and the Senate proceeded to vote to confirm Gilliam Jr. by a voice vote.

On May 24,2019,Gilliam granted a preliminary injunction preventing the Trump administration from redirecting funds under the national emergency declaration issued earlier in the year to fund a planned wall along the border with Mexico. The injunction applies specifically to some of the money the administration intended to allocate from other agencies,and limits wall construction projects in El Paso,Texas and Yuma,Arizona. [8] A judge on the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia,Trevor McFadden,issued an opinion a week later in a similar case that disagreed with Judge Gilliam's conclusions on standing. [9] On June 28,2019,Judge Gilliam granted a permanent injunction. On July 26,2019,the United States Supreme Court,in the case Trump v. Sierra Club ,No. 19A60,in a 5-to-4 ruling,overturned an appellate decision which had refused to stay Judge Gilliam's May 23,2019 injunction,and said that the administration could spend the money while litigation over the matter proceeds.

In a 5-to-4 ruling, the court overturned an appellate decision and said that the administration could tap the money while litigation over the matter proceeds. But that will most likely take many months or longer, allowing Mr. Trump to move ahead before the case returns to the Supreme Court after further proceedings in the appeals court.
