Summary
A federal judge in Minnesota, Jeffrey Bryan, declined to step aside from an immigration-related case despite a conflict-of-interest challenge. The US Department of Justice plans to appeal the judge’s order, which called the government’s motion “improper, untimely, and lacking merit.” The challenge was based on the fact that Bryan’s wife serves as Minnesota’s solicitor general and is leading a separate lawsuit against federal immigration enforcement actions at issue in Bryan’s courtroom.
