The Department of Justice (DOJ) has formally filed a misconduct complaint against the Minnesota federal judges who admitted to the New York Times that they are using their power as judges to obstruct the Trump administration’s agenda.
Acting Deputy Attorney General Trent McCotter told followers on X that the DOJ is targeting the judges for engaging in an “unethical partisan press tour on immigration cases.”
“Judges who covet publicity undermine public confidence in the rule of law,” McCotter added.
Attorney General Todd Blanche blasted the clearly biased judges, saying that the U.S. government has a right, “just like every litigant in court, to have a judge that will be fair and impartial,” Blanche said. “We have no choice but to act.”
The complaint comes after the New York Times published a story early in September featuring Judge Patrick Schiltz and five of the seven judges of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 8th Circuit who spoke to the paper to reveal their experiences over the president’s crack down on illegal immigration.
The judicial misconduct complaint names Judge Schiltz, who was appointed to the bench by George W. Bush, and Bill Clinton-appointed Judge John Tunheim, both of whom have openly criticized Trump’s immigration policies.
Tunheim, for instance, told the Times that ICE was not arresting the right migrants, and said, “They weren’t arresting, in my view, people who were dangerous criminals on the street.”
The DOJ, though, says the judges’ public conduct “is particularly egregious” and that they “flagrantly violated the Code of Judicial Conduct with their improper and unethical comments.”
The complaint added that Schiltz’s comments were “overly political and concern matters that are pending” before the court, and that Tunheim’s comment was “less verbose” but “equally unethical.”

Go after all of the activist judges. Use lawfare against them. Turnabout and all that.
Abetting is a crime is it not? ARREST them.
For far too long we have given far too much respect and far too much deference to someone who just happens to be wearing black robes while on the taxpayer payroll.
these Judges thrive on treason and should
be removed now.
Lots more of this, please! (and some arrests and/or executions for treason would be nice, too)
Bkmk
Judges are largely just mediocre lawyers on the gubmint payroll.
The days when respected elder lawyers gave back to the legal system in their senior years - taking a huge pay cut - are gone.
Now it’s mediocre lawyers that want an easy lifetime gig because they don’t have other options.
It’s the smallest of things they can do.
Consider what they did to John Eastman. Kangaroo court, absurd rulings that excluded exculpatory evidence, on and on.
While we’re at it, when do Marc Elias and Norm Eisen get debarred over vexatious lawsuits? Hundreds of lawsuits filed literally daily over which they have no actual interest.
Why are so many Dipsh** Court Feral Judgettes 14th Amendment Anchor babies? If I end up in court, I don’t want a (female) pineapple judging me. I want an American male. One of my peers.
Yes, I’ve said many times they’re mostly lawyers who can’t make a decent living in private practice or just want a guaranteed lifetime income. And some actually want the authority of the bench to wield power over others.
They think they matter.
They are nothing more than factory workers.
Get back to work.
Give me the boy and I’ll give you the man.
Congress and the states long ago green-lit leftist undergrad and law school instruction.
Oh, and of course K-12.
