'Absurd' attack on judge by Trump DOJ leaves civil rights litigator aghast

President Donald Trump's civil rights chief, Harmeet Dhillon, took to the right-wing Newsmax channel on Friday to bash a magistrate judge who blocked the ongoing detention of Minnesota activists charged with conspiracy against rights for protesting inside a church where an ICE official worked.

"When you go in front of a magistrate with these types of charges, it's not known to the people who are being charged in advance, that's the beginning of the process to get an arrest warrant," said Dhillon.
