The Department of Justice filed a judicial misconduct complaint on Wednesday against several Minnesota-based federal judges for “pander[ing]” to legacy media about ICE operations in the state.
“Seven federal judges in the District of Minnesota talked to the New York Times about cases, some of which are on-going, in a manner that the Department of Justice views as a clear violation of their ethical duties,” Attorney General Todd Blanche said in a statement. “Their conduct has undermined public confidence in an impartial judiciary in Minnesota.”
