Justice Department files complaints against judges over immigration remarks
Original: todd blanche
The Justice Department, led in practice by Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, has filed complaints against judges who criticized the administration's immigration enforcement surge. PBS is airing the development, which raises fresh questions about the boundary between judicial independence and political pressure from the executive branch.
Why now: The DOJ targeting sitting judges over their comments is an unusual escalation in the fight over immigration enforcement.
