DOJ Accuses Federal Judge Ana Reyes of Bias, Misconduct in Transgender Military Ban Case

The Department of Justice has lodged a formal complaint against U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes, alleging misconduct and potential bias in a case challenging the Trump administration’s transgender military service ban. The complaint, addressed to the Chief Judge of the D.C.

The DOJ contends that her conduct raises serious concerns about impartiality and is calling for further investigation into the matter.
