DOJ moves to remove two Minnesota judges over immigration remarks
Original: DOJ seeks to remove two Minnesota judges from cases over public immigration remarks
The Department of Justice is seeking to disqualify two Minnesota judges from hearing cases because of public comments the judges made about immigration. The move escalates tensions between federal prosecutors and the state judiciary over how judges speak about immigration matters outside the courtroom. Details about the specific cases and the judges' remarks remain limited.
Why now: It raises fresh concerns about federal pressure on judicial independence in immigration-related cases.
