Judge Bars DOJ Lawyer From Case, Threatens Default Judgment Over ‘Deliberate Attempt To Mislead The Court’

U.S. District Judge Sanket Bulsara barred Assistant U.S. Attorney Thomas Price from Benitez v. Department of Homeland Security, citing prima facie Rule 11 violations over a November 4 letter about an injunction’s scope. Bulsara required supervisory sign-off on future filings and warned that confirmed future misrepresentations could bring default judgment for plaintiffs.
