Justice Department misspells the governor they’re suing 5 times in court filing

Summary
The Justice Department has been criticized in the past year for some very public missteps. And another flub was evident this week after the DOJ filed a lawsuit against New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill over her executive order prohibiting federal agents from arresting people in "in nonpublic areas of state property, such as correctional facilities and courthouses," Philadelphia's WHYY-FM reported. Politico's Matt Friedman couldn't help but notice that they misspelled the governor's name "five of the eight times she's mentioned."Lawyer Daniel Suitor pointed out last week that he's been involved in one suit in which the federal government completely blew past a filing deadline for one of his Habeas Corpus petitions in an immigration case.The New York Times reported that at least 35 times since August 2025, judges demanded answers from DOJ lawyers about why their orders continue to be violated by federal agents. Minnesota judges were so furious that at least one issued a fine for each day the government refused to return the property of a legal U.S. resident. His personal information was taken from him after he was rushed out of Minnesota to El Paso, Texas, slated for deportation despite his status. Once he was released, he couldn't fly back to Minnesota because he didn't have any of his identification. US District Judge Laura Provinzino called it a “flagrant disobedience of court orders” before issuing sanctions. “The government’s understaffing and high caseload is a problem of its own making and absolutely does not justify flagrant disobedience of court orders,” the judge said during a hearing Wednesday, according to a transcript. “I don’t believe I need to do additional hand-holding on this. I think it’s clear what needs to happen,” she added.
