Court Official Dismisses Justice Department’s Misconduct Complaint Against a Federal Judge in DC
Chief Judge Srinivasan ruled that concerns about Judge Reyes’s conduct should be addressed by recusal motions, dismissing the Justice Department’s complaint without assessing its merits.
- Monday Chief Judge Sri Srinivasan dismissed a Justice Department misconduct complaint against U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes, and the U.S. Justice Department had no immediate comment on Tuesday.
- The complaint from Mizelle alleged Reyes's conduct `compromised the dignity of the proceedings` and questioned a government lawyer about his religious beliefs using a rhetorical exercise, according to the Justice Department complaint.
- During the hearing, Ana Reyes, U.S. District Judge, asked whether `Jesus would say` excluding people from shelters and said she might bar University of Virginia law graduates as `liars`.
- The chief judge noted that parties should seek recusal in the case itself; the Justice Department did not seek Reyes's removal or file a petition for review, and Reyes declined to comment.
- The dispute centers on President Donald Trump's Jan. 27 executive order banning transgender troops, which Ana Reyes, U.S. District Judge, blocked earlier this year amid a lawsuit by six transgender people who were active-duty service members and two other plaintiffs.
