Justice Department Files Misconduct Complaint Against Federal Judge

The Justice Department has filed a misconduct complaint against U.S. District Judge James E. Boasberg. This action follows Judge Boasberg's rulings against President Trump's deportation policies and is seen as part of a broader effort by the administration to pressure judges. Attorney General Pam Bondi stated the complaint was filed due to alleged "improper public comments" made by the judge about the president and his administration. The complaint reportedly stems from remarks made by Judge Boasberg at a Judicial Conference event.
