Congress needs to investigate how these judges are getting assigned to high profile Trump cases. I count 25 regular U.S. district judges in the Southern District of NY, and 21 senior (semi-retired) U.S. district judges there. This is not random selection process. Some court administrator is assigning the judge he/she deems most hostile to Trump to these cases. Congress should investigate and force the weasel John Roberts to take some action to restore trust in the judiciary.
apparently it didn’t “just” happen, the case was docketed in 2020 and is an existing case...perhaps the DOJ had no choice and thus explains why Maduro went to NY instead of another district, e.g. Florida.
IANAL.

All of them are likely Democrats and firmly anti-Trump, so it really would make no difference which one was picked. All of them will side with Maduro and order his release with compensation.
