Progressive groups have long used progressive-controlled bar associations to unconstitutionally remove non-progressive lawyers from the courts. Now, the latest action targets a DHS attorney. DHS General Counsel James Percival faces bar association complaints from anti-American progressive groups over his rightful chastisement of rogue district judges. These judges continuously ignore higher court rulings, including SCOTUS rulings.

For the past several years, leftists have waged an all-out assault on conservative attorneys and their ability to practice law. And now, such egregious “barfare” tactics are being aimed at the Trump Department of Homeland Security’s top legal official.
On Tuesday, a pair of leftist organizations and 128 former federal and state judges submitted an ethics complaint to the Florida Bar against DHS General Counsel James Percival, who previously served GOP Sen. Ashley Moody’s chief of staff during her time as Florida attorney general. His alleged crime? Criticizing rogue judges for slow-walking implementation of a recent Supreme Court ruling and their activism in other immigration-related cases before the bench.
In Mullin v. Doe, the high court affirmed that the federal law governing Temporary Protected Status (TPS) prohibits federal courts from reviewing non-constitutional claims against the government’s TPS decisions. Rather than swiftly heed the majority’s decision, several Democrat-appointed judges entertained seemingly frivolous claims from challengers before finally allowing the administration’s TPS terminations to move forward. The last holdout, Judge Brian Murphy, finally lifted his blockade on the TPS termination for Ethiopians earlier this week.
