A Texas-based federal judge’s abuse and racial insults toward a lawyer have sparked a judicial investigation.
A lawyer filed a misconduct complaint against US District Judge Ada Brown, a Trump appointee, for berating him with racial insults during an April 2026 hearing in Dallas.
Bloomberg Law reviewed court transcripts that revealed Judge Brown directed shockingly abusive racial insults toward attorney Ezra Young.
Ezra Young represented a black female professor who was suing over the denial of tenure.
During the hearing, Judge Brown, a black and Native American woman, berated Young and repeatedly referred to him as a white man even though he is Latino.
“I think what’s happening here, quite candidly, is you are very intimidated for some reason, Mr. Young, with Black excellence, in light of your White mediocrity. Yeah. Right?,” Brown said, according to the transcript obtained by Bloomberg Law. “You should write that down. I mean, you — I’m — you look like a White man, right?”
“I’m not White, Your Honor,” Young replied, explaining that he is Latino.
“Well, you are White-presenting; is that fair to say?” Judge Brown said.
Young told the judge that he is a “fair-skinned” Latino. Judge Brown insisted that Young had “White privilege.”
“You’re the White savior, come to save all the stupid Black lawyers in Texas who need your help, from New York,” Judge Brown later said, according to Bloomberg.
Ezra Young said he believes Judge Brown could be suffering from a mental health condition. Judge Brown was ordered to undergo a psychiatric evaluation.
Judge Brown responded to Ezra Young’s complaint in a 76-page response and defended her racial attacks.
Bloomberg Law reported:
A lawyer’s misconduct complaint against US District Judge Ada Brown stemmed from a hearing during which she repeatedly directed racial insults at him, according to documents reviewed by Bloomberg Law.
Attorney Ezra Young, who has represented a Black woman professor suing over a tenure denial, filed a complaint against Brown following the April 2026 hearing in Dallas, he confirmed in an interview with Bloomberg Law. Young’s complaint and the judge’s formal response were among the documents that Brown circulated in an Oct. 17 email to lawyers, judges, and members of the media.
Throughout the hearing, the judge, a Black woman with Native American ancestry, accused Young of mistreating Black attorneys, took “judicial notice” of her own background in making findings against Young, and repeatedly referred to Young, who is Latino, as being White. Brown called the hearing months after she revoked Young’s ability to practice in her courtroom to weigh whether the lawyer should face sanctions.
