5th Circuit Court removes judge from foster care suit
The federal judge who has repeatedly found Texas in contempt for not fixing its foster care system has been removed by the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals after a three-judge panel faulting U.S. District Judge Janis Jack’s “highly antagonistic demeanor,” The Texas Tribune reported. The three also reversed the $100,000 daily fine against the state’s defendants – the Texas Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Family and Protective Services, which runs the foster care system.
