Texas Federal Judge Humiliates Obama & Loretta Lynch, Demands Ethics Classes
WASHINGTON — A federal judge in Texas on Thursday excoriated the Justice Department, demanding ethics classes for the department’s lawyers and ordering other sanctions for those who argued the case involving President Obama’s immigration executive actions.
He also ordered the government to produce a list of about 100,000 immigrants who entered illegally and who are participating in a government program that protects them from deportation.
In a blistering order, Judge Andrew S. Hanen of Federal District Court in Brownsville accused the Justice Department lawyers of lying to him during arguments in the case, and he barred them from appearing in his courtroom.
He also demanded that Attorney General Loretta E. Lynch provide a “comprehensive plan” within 60 days describing how she will prevent unethical conduct in the future, as well as making sure the department’s Office of Professional Responsibility effectively prevents misconduct among its lawyers.
He also said that any Justice Department lawyer who wants to appear in a state or federal court in any of the 26 states who filed suit to block Mr. Obama’s executive actions should be required to take an annual three-hour ethics course for the next five years.
“Clearly, there seems to be a lack of knowledge about or adherence to the duties of professional responsibility in the halls of the Justice Department,” Judge Hanen wrote in the 28-page order.
A spokesman for the Justice Department said Thursday that “we strongly disagree with the order” but declined to comment further.
Judge Hanen is at the center of the bitter legal fight over the fate of the immigration executive actions Mr. Obama announced at the end of 2014. Texas and 25 other states sued the president, objecting to his efforts to prevent millions of illegal immigrants from being deported and allow them to work in the country legally.
The merits of the case are before the Supreme Court, which is expected to rule near the end of its term in June. But Judge Hanen said in his order that he felt compelled to punish what he said was egregious behavior by the government lawyers in the case.
The judge’s rare, public condemnation of government lawyers was the result of the Obama administration’s decision to move ahead with carrying out part of the president’s immigration plan even after the judge issued a temporary hold on the actions in February 2015.

The Justice Department needs to take some lessons from Judge Andrew S. Hanen. This Administration has been controlling the outcome of just about everything, without any fear of being questioned or prosecuted in any way. It has been business as usual, by this Administration. It is time to overhaul the Administration.
These illegals think just because they come here they deserve to stay! NOT. Not only come here illegally. But then demand things and riot waving a Mexican flag! Try that shit in Mexico and find your ass in jail! They have no right to ANYTHING and we owe them NOTHING! The criminal invaders OWE US! I can see how the Don will make Mexico pay for the wall. INMATE LABOR! All able bodied illegals will be arrested and put to work on the wall. Sky high tariffs on ALL Mexican imports! Figure in the millions of dollars these illegal scums send back to Mexico drying up! Mexico will pay; indirectly, but they will pay!
Yes the US was born of conquest. SO WHAT! Don’t like it make war and take it back. We conquered; we established laws including immigration law. Foreigners don’t have the right to break them just because the cesspool that spawned them can’t govern their country. No reason justifies them being here illegally. They are criminal invaders. I don’t care if they work, contribute, and have been here years. THEY ARE CRIMINALS. They have to go. A country can’t be a country without borders. If you can’t understand that you are braindead
