Under Fire On All Fronts, Attorney General Todd Blanche Takes The Gloves Off On Fox News Sunday
Blanche said the Justice Department has won 28 emergency cases and plans to send about 1,000 poll monitors nationwide.
- Attorney General Todd Blanche held a press briefing at the White House Rose Garden on September 15, defending the administration's policy of deporting undocumented migrants to third-party countries, arguing authorities provide due process.
- Critics have questioned the administration's frequent use of the Supreme Court's emergency docket to secure legal stays, while the court currently reviews a case challenging these third-party deportation policies.
- Blanche rejected transparency concerns, noting the Justice Department has won 28 emergency cases, or about 80% of its requests before the Supreme Court; he claimed the administration only approaches the court after federal appeals courts deny necessary stays.
- Regarding midterm elections, the Department plans to deploy roughly 1,000 poll monitors nationwide, a practice dating to the 1960s, while Blanche dismissed reports of armed agents as 'completely false.'
- Separately, the Justice Department filed a formal ethics complaint against Minnesota federal judges who discussed pending immigration cases with The New York Times, alleging they crossed the line by speaking publicly on active litigation involving DHS and ICE.
