Justice Department Seeks Recusal of Judges Schiltz and Tunheim from Immigration Cases

The Justice Department has filed motions to recuse Judges Patrick Schiltz and John Tunheim from immigration cases due to their public criticism of the Trump administration's policies.
Judge Schiltz is overseeing a case involving the denaturalization of Salah Osman Ahmed, while Judge Tunheim is presiding over a case related to a South African national's alleged illegal voting.
The DOJ claims the judges' comments raise questions about their ability to be impartial, and a hearing for Judge Schiltz is set for November 23.
