Here we go again.
For years, I’ve used keyboard macros. I set one up in February so that when I press <alt><shift>+K, it magically types out “Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.” That macro didn’t last long, though, because he’s well… dead.
I need one that types out “On [insert date here], a federal judge threw out [or issued a temporary injunction on] Trump's xxyy policy.”
In Monday’s edition, U.S. District Judge Patrick Schiltz, a George W. Bush appointee, tossed Justice Department grand jury subpoenas for Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, state Attorney General Keith Ellison, and some of their associates. The judge was extremely opinionated in his decision and went out of his way to blast the administration at every opportunity possible.
He claimed that the subpoenas constituted obvious retaliation against Walz because he impeded federal immigration enforcement in the Gopher State:
In a blistering ruling, U.S. District Judge Patrick Schiltz said there was “no doubt” that the subpoenas were issued to damage Walz — part of what he said was a pattern of Trump administration efforts to use criminal process to punish the president’s adversaries.
“Initiating a criminal investigation in order to harass political opponents or to coerce them into taking official action — particularly official action that the federal government cannot directly require those political opponents to take — is a blatantly unlawful and unethical use the grand-jury process,” Schiltz wrote in a 29-page ruling dated June 17 but unsealed Monday.
The subpoenas were issued during the height of Operation Metro Surge in December 2025 and demanded internal communications related to state and local immigration enforcement practices. Blue states have been steadfast in their refusal to help the Trump Team clean up the illegal immigration mess that Joe Biden left in his wake.
You had to know that the ruling would send a thrill up the leg of fellow illegal immigration fan and leftist governor Gavin Newsom (CA):
A federal court just confirmed what everyone already knew:

Trump’s DOJ is illegally using the machinery of government to target his political enemies with bogus investigations.
That’s not justice. It’s corruption. IT MUST END! https://t.co/9hH5lJnDn1
Gavin Newsom crowing about clamping down on corruption — now that's a double knee slapper.

My question: Where were these grandstanding governors and activist judges when former President Joe Biden turned the Department of Justice into his own personal vendetta machine? Where was Schiltz when former AG Merrick Garland was trampling all over the rights of American citizens?
Unreal.

Unreal.
Following in the footsteps of DC Chief Judge Jeb Boasberg, who quashed subpoenas in the Jerome Power/Fed investigation, Minneapolis Chief Judge Patrick Schiltz--an admitted illegal immigrant activist--just quashed 6 federal grand jury subpoenas seeking information about Minnesota/Minneapolis Dem officials' collective attempts to violate federal immigration laws.
Schiltz claims the subpoenas are retaliatory and coercive (h/t Kyle Cheney):
The DOJ has not yet commented on the ruling, nor have they indicated whether they will appeal.
I’m off to write that macro in preparation for whatever news breaks Tuesday.
Editor’s Note: Thanks to President Trump, illegal immigration into our great country has virtually stopped. Despite the radical left's lies, new legislation wasn't needed to secure our border, just a new president.
