Justice Department Files Misconduct Complaint Against Federal Judge Over Trump Deportation Case

Meanwhile, the misconduct investigation will proceed through established judicial disciplinary channels. Chief Judge Srinivasan must now determine whether to refer the complaint to a special investigative committee, which would conduct a thorough review of Boasberg’s conduct and potentially recommend disciplinary action.

The outcome of this investigation will have far-reaching implications for judicial conduct standards and the relationship between the federal judiciary and executive branch. It may establish important precedents about the limits of judicial coordination and the consequences for judges who engage in improper ex parte communications about pending cases.

🛑 It should be noted that the assertions in the Justice Department’s Misconduct Complaint are merely allegations and have not been proven in a court of law.
