Target: U.S. District Judge Matthew Brann and the United States Department of Justice
Goal: We urge Judge Matthew Brann and all relevant authorities to uphold the rule of law by rejecting political interference in the appointment of New Jersey's U.S. attorney and ensuring that federal law and constitutional principles are respected.
The appointment and removal of U.S. attorneys must be free from political manipulation and adhere strictly to federal law and constitutional checks and balances. The recent reinstatement of Alina Habba by the Trump administration, after federal judges sought to end her tenure, represents a troubling overreach that threatens both the independence of the judiciary and public trust in our legal institutions.
A bipartisan group of Congress members, including Rep. Frank Pallone and former Republican representatives, have joined together to file a brief highlighting these concerns. Their intervention underscores the urgent need to defend the separation of powers and prevent any administration from undermining the justice system for political gain.
We call on Judge Brann and the Department of Justice to stand firm against this unlawful interference, restore the integrity of the U.S. attorney's office in New Jersey, and reaffirm the principle that no one is above the law.
