美国司法部周三就明尼苏达州联邦法官接受《纽约时报》采访一事提出司法行为不当投诉。这些法官在采访中批评了特朗普政府处理该州移民执法案件的方式。
The Department of Justice on Wednesday filed a judicial misconduct complaint against Minnesota federal judges over interviews they gave to The New York Times that criticized the Trump administration's handling of immigration enforcement cases in the state.
司法部要求美国第八巡回上诉法院强制七名正在任职的联邦法官回避所有涉及国土安全部的案件。据报道，这七名法官均曾与《纽约时报》交谈。
The DOJ asked the 8th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals to force the recusal of all seven judges on active status who reportedly spoke with The Times from any case involving the Department of Homeland Security.
这份投诉还要求第八巡回上诉法院调查司法部所称的“法官在与报纸交谈时存在的不当和违反道德准则的行为”。该法院负责审理源自明尼苏达州联邦地区法院的案件。中国间谍案内幕：前美联储顾问约翰·罗杰斯深陷其中人工智能监管即将面临的障碍：反垄断鹰派特朗普扣留了与其能够施加影响的机构有关的至多10亿美元债券众议员詹姆斯·科默扩大众议院对预测市场内幕交易的调查投诉特别点名了帕特里克·席尔茨法官和约翰·通海姆法官，报道中直接引用了这两人的言论。其他法官则是在要求匿名的情况下与报纸交谈的。
The complaint also asks the 8th Circuit, which oversees cases arising from the District of Minnesota, to investigate into what the DOJ called "the judges' improper and unethical conduct" in speaking to the newspaper.

The other judges spoke to the newspaper on the condition of anonymity.
代理司法部长特伦特·麦科特和副司法部长小斯坦利·伍德沃德在投诉中表示：“至少，席尔茨法官和通海姆法官就其向《纽约时报》发表的不当且违反道德准则的言论而言，公然违反了《司法行为准则》。”
"Judge Schiltz and Judge Tunheim, at least, have flagrantly violated the Code of Judicial Conduct with their improper and unethical comments to the New York Times," says the complaint by acting Deputy Attorney General Trent McCotter and Associate Attorney General Stanley Woodward, Jr.
司法部长托德·布兰奇在一份声明中表示：“明尼苏达州联邦地区的七名联邦法官就一些仍在审理中的案件与《纽约时报》交谈，而司法部认为，这种方式明显违反了他们所负的道德职责。”布兰奇说：“他们的行为削弱了公众对明尼苏达州司法公正性的信心。”
Attorney General Todd Blanche, in a statement, said, "Seven federal judges in the District of Minnesota talked to the New York Times about cases, some of which are on-going, in a manner that the Department of Justice views as a clear violation of their ethical duties." "Their conduct has undermined public confidence in an impartial judiciary in Minnesota," Blanche said.
