The Trump administration blasted U.S. District Judge Judith Levy over the weekend for her “truly wicked” praise and deferential treatment of a predator who stole into the United States multiple times and brutalized an American citizen.
Edys Renan Membreño Díaz, a 30-year-old Honduran national, is presently serving between six and 15 years in a Michigan state prison for raping and sodomizing a woman he knew was incapable of giving consent, who has cerebral palsy and cognitive delays. Díaz, who moved to Michigan in 2021, raped the victim on two occasions: on July 15 and July 17, 2022, leaving her with injuries.
‘This isn’t justice; it’s judicial activism prioritizing criminals over citizens.’
Wisconsin Assistant Attorney General Adrienne Blais did little Monday to challenge the defense’s legal arguments that her agency’s politically motivated fraud case against two attorneys and an aide for the 2020 Trump campaign is built on a prosecution “error.”
Blais didn’t need to do much. Liberal Dane County Judge John Hyland, who refused to recuse himself from the case after explosive allegations that a retired judge was the ghostwriter of Hyland’s earlier order, ruled that prosecutors had provided enough evidence to take the phony “false electors” case to trial.
A federal appeals court has granted an emergency motion sought by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) to halt contempt hearings scheduled to start this week over the deportation of suspected Venezuelan gang members.
U.S. District Judge James Boasberg had scheduled contempt hearings for Dec. 15 and 16, over the Trump administration’s deportation of Venezuelan gang member under the Alien Enemies act in March of this year.
Boasberg had issued restraining orders on the deportation of two planeloads of suspected Tren de Aragua gang members, after the planes were already airborne.
When the Trump administration followed the written orders but not the judge’s oral instructions, which DOJ attorneys said were defective, and allowed the deportation flights to complete their mission to transport the detainees to a maximum security prison in El Salvador.
President Donald Trump’s administration has removed eight immigration judges from their posts in New York City.
The move is part of a sweeping national effort to restore order to the immigration system and accelerate illegal alien deportations amid surging public concern over border security.
According to the New York Times, all eight judges worked inside 26 Federal Plaza, one of the city’s major immigration courts.
The outlet cited two officials, one from the Department of Justice (DOJ) and another from the National Association of Immigration Judges, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
Among those dismissed was Amiena A. Khan, an assistant chief immigration judge who supervised colleagues inside the building.
A Somali immigrant in Minnesota is under federal investigation after posting a TikTok video in which he openly threatened to shoot Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents amid heightened federal enforcement activity targeting criminal illegal aliens in the Twin Cities.
The man was identified by the New York Post as Hasan Mohamed, a student at the taxpayer-funded Minnesota State University.
“ICE, I actually heard you guys pulled up to Owatonna, the big O, and you pulled up when I was not there?” Mohamed said in the now-deleted clip.
“Y’all so p–s-ass s–t, boy.
“You’re gonna get popped next time I see you.
Brian Cole, Jr. is in custody. He was arrested last week by federal agents in Woodbridge, Virginia, accused of being the January 6 pipe bomber, an investigation that has become a source of mockery for the FBI. Why couldn’t they find this guy? Well, for starters, he did not fit the deep state or the liberal media’s narrative. He’s black with slim political affiliations. He might be a leftist. He might not, but he’s unlikely to be MAGA; something the mainstream press has tried to peddle for days.
President Donald Trump on Thursday railed against Democratic senators using the “blue slip” tradition to block his court appointments.
In a post on Truth Social, the president wrote, “‘Blue Slips’ are making it impossible to get great Republican Judges and U.S. Attorneys approved to serve in any state where there is even a single Democrat Senator.”
“If they say no, then it is OVER for that very well qualified Republican candidate,” he continued. “Only a really far left Democrat can be approved. It is shocking that Republicans, under Senator Chuck G, allow this scam to continue. So unfair to Republicans, and not Constitutional.”
Trump concluded by calling on Senate Majority Leader John Thune ‘to get something done, ideally the termination of Blue Slips.”
During an appearance on Fox News, Sen. Thune (R-SD) was asked about the matter.
A federal judge on Thursday ordered the release of Salvadoran migrant Kilmar Abrego Garcia from federal custody, delivering a sharp rebuke to the Trump administration in a case that has ricocheted across borders and courtrooms for nearly 10 months.
U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis ruled that Abrego Garcia must be freed from the ICE Moshannon Valley Processing Center in Pennsylvania, saying the administration had failed to secure the required final notice of removal that would allow him to be deported to a third country, including several African nations previously floated by federal officials.
“Since Abrego Garcia’s return from wrongful detention in El Salvador, he has been re-detained, again without lawful authority,” Xinis said in her order. “For this reason, the Court will GRANT Abrego Garcia’s Petition for immediate release from ICE custody.”
Xinis had grilled Justice Department lawyers last month during a lengthy evidentiary hearing, pushing them to prove that a final removal order existed. DOJ attorney Drew Ensign argued that a 2019 immigration judge had effectively “meant” to issue such an order. Xinis dismissed that argument outright, stating, “No such order of removal exists for Abrego Garcia.”
The Justice Department is expected to appeal, as Ensign signaled in earlier proceedings.
On Thursday, the FBI made a huge arrest, claiming to finally have the guy who planted pipe bombs at the DNC and RNC headquarters the day before J6.
After five years, this is a big story.
Hopefully, the suspect, Brian Cole Jr. really is the culprit and we will finally see justice in the case.
However, the arrest is raising a lot of questions.
For one thing: why now? After all these years?
What changed that led to this arrest?
We broke down everything we know so far in this report:
U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer once again has blocked President Donald Trump from deploying the National Guard to Los Angeles, CA.
“Six months after they first federalized the California National Guard, Defendants still retain control of approximately 300 Guardsmen, despite no evidence that execution of federal law is impeded in any way—let alone significantly,” wrote Breyer. “What’s more, Defendants have sent California Guardsmen into other states, effectively creating a national police force made up of state troops.”
California Gov. Gavin Newsom and other plaintiffs filed a motion to enjoin this conduct. The Trump administration took “the position that, after a valid initial federalization, all subsequent re federalizations are completely, and forever, unreviewable by the courts.”
The “Defendants’ position is contrary to law,” stated Breyer.
Okay, so here’s the background because this is the third time Breyer issued this ruling.
In June, Breyer ruled that Trump’s order violated the 10th Amendment and exceeded his statutory authority.
Big news is breaking this Thursday morning, as multiple sources are reporting that a Virginia man has been arrested for placing pipe bombs outside the headquarters of the Republican National Committee and Democratic National Committee on January 5, 2021.
Details are sketchy as of this writing, but this would be the first time federal law enforcement has made an arrest in the high-profile case that has seemed to baffle investigators for nearly five years. According to one report, the suspect is a man from Virginia and the arrest by the FBI took place Thursday morning. There is no word as of yet on the charges this suspect might be facing.
A news conference is expected to take place at the U.S. Department of Justice sometime on Thursday.
BREAKING: Colleague @davidspunt reports the FBI has arrested the suspect believed to be behind the planting of pipe bombs at the DNC & RNC headquarters in DC on January 5th, 2021. Suspect is a male living in Virginia. Arrested early this morning in VA.

Here we go again: the sun rises, another federal judge kneecaps the Trump agenda. In this latest ruling, issued Monday, a Bill Clinton-appointed jurist decided that Trump hasn’t explained himself enough and “failed to justify” his decision to put a halt to the wind project madness that has swept the country.
Sometimes I wish the president would just say, “I got 77 million votes, you didn’t — that’s my justification. Buzz off.” Of course, he can’t do that:
A federal judge on Monday ruled that President Donald Trump’s administration had failed to justify its decision to suspend issuing leases and permits for new wind projects in keeping with the Republican president’s wishes.
U.S. District Judge Patti Saris in Boston sided with a group of 17 Democrat-led states and the District of Columbia in finding that agencies had failed to sufficiently explain why they had indefinitely paused all federal approvals of wind-energy projects.

President Donald Trump was caught complaining about repeated blocks of his appointments after acting U.S. Attorney for New Jersey Alina Habba resigned.
In footage posted on social media, Trump could be heard venting about his judicial appointments being blocked as the press was shepherded out of the room.
“You know I can’t appoint anybody,” Trump said. “Everybody I’ve appointed, their time has expired. Then they’re in default, then we’re losing.”
Trump’s disdain for the “blue slip” practice for judicial nominees is well known, and he’s repeatedly called for Congress to abolish it. Republicans have so far given rare resistance to Trump’s wishes, with Senate Republicans siding with Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA), who has been a strong defender of the century-old unofficial rule.
The Senate Judiciary Committee typically doesn’t advance judicial nominees unless both senators from the state of the appointment return a blue slip in favor of the nominee. With Democrats steadfastly against Trump’s nominees, he has been forced to appoint his picks to short terms that quickly expire. Attempts to stay past their deadline have been dealt a critical blow in the courts, most recently resulting in the resignation of a major Trump ally, Habba.
President Trump has had enough of the Senate’s “blue slip” tradition that allows senators to put the kibosh on certain presidential nominees for positions in their home states, and he’s demanding Senate Republicans to due away with the “scam.”
In a Truth Social message posted Thursday morning, the president called on Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) to terminate blue slips so that several of the White House’s picks for U.S. Attorney vacancies can make their way through the confirmation process. Trump also had pointed words for Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, saying it’s “shocking” Grassley allows the tradition to continue.

Explosive new court documents unsealed Tuesday detail the alleged judicial misconduct of the Wisconsin judge presiding over a politically-driven criminal case targeting the attorneys who represented the 2020 Trump campaign in the battleground Badger State. Dane County Circuit Court Judge John Hyland had outside help from a former judge with a “grudge,” according to the court filings.
Hyland, in so many words, told defendants to go pound sand. He will not remove himself from the case and the march to a perfectly-timed election-year trial will go on. To the people who feel more than ever that it will be impossible to get a fair trial in far-left Dane County, the judge effectively said, Trust me.
Earlier this week, attorneys for Jim Troupis, President Donald Trump’s Wisconsin recount counselor following the rigged 2020 presidential election, filed several motions not only asking Hyland and his staff to step aside, but to vacate the judge’s August order rejecting the defendants’ motion to dismiss the case. The omnibus motion and an appendix spelling out the allegations were sealed — that is until Hyland opened them Tuesday afternoon.
Former Special Counsel Jack Smith is teaming up with other anti-Trump prosecutors to launch a new law firm. The hordes of Mordor might be forming again. Smith tried to ensnare President Trump in two investigations, one on the January 6 riot and the other concerning Trump’s alleged mishandling of classified documents, all of which were dismissed. The latter was part of the federal raid on Mar-a-Lago in August of 2022, which, in hindsight, sealed the Democrats’ fate regarding the 2024 election (via Yahoo! News):
Jack Smith, the former U.S. Justice Department special counsel who prosecuted Republican President Donald Trump following his first term in the White House, is teaming up with three other ex-prosecutors to launch a new law firm.
Smith is starting the firm with Tim Heaphy, David Harbach and Thomas Windom, each a former federal prosecutor with decades of public service.
Heaphy in a statement said the firm will launch in January and provide full-service legal work, including investigations and litigation. He said the team will design a legal practice focused on “integrity, commitment, and zealous advocacy” for public and private clients.
Though there have been fraud investigations in Minnesota dating back several years, and which have netted dozens of convictions, the report last month from the Manhattan Institute’s Ryan Thorpe and Christopher Rufo alleging widespread Medicaid fraud that allegedly was used to help fund a foreign-based Somali terrorist group has gotten the attention of the Trump administration – and has outraged many Americans in the process.
It’s also shone an unflattering spotlight on Minnesota and its Democratic governor and possible 2028 presidential contender, Tim Walz, in another way, by revisiting the “Feeding Our Future” fraud scandal, where taxpayer money was fraudulently obtained under the pretense of feeding hungry children during the COVID-era lockdowns.
Instead, it was used to fund lavish lifestyles, the details of which were shared in a Thursday CBS News report:

Hennepin County Judge Sarah West overruled a Minnesota jury after they found Abdifatah Yusuf guilty on fraud and racketeering charges. He was charged with committing $7.2 million in Medicaid fraud. The judge said the jury “erred” in its judgment. Because a jury originally found him guilty, the prosecutor can appeal the verdict.
One juror. Ben Walfoort, the jury’s foreman, told KARE 11, “It was not a difficult decision whatsoever. The deliberation took probably four hours at most. Based off of the state’s evidence that was presented, it was beyond a reasonable doubt.”

A Hennepin County, Minnesota, judge set aside a jury’s guilty verdict in a $7.2 million Medicaid fraud case Monday, leaving jurors shocked.
Hennepin County Judge Sarah West ruled that the jury erred when it found Abdifatah Yusuf guilty on fraud and racketeering charges, KARE 11 reported. Stunned jurors told the Minneapolis-area TV station they didn’t have much difficulty during deliberations.
A federal judge gave New York Attorney General Letitia James and former FBI Director James Comey a bit of a reprieve when he threw out the Justice Department’s indictments against them.
But this does not mean they will get off scot-free.
U.S. District Judge Cameron McGowan Currie on Monday dismissed the indictments against the two individuals after determining that the appointment of Interim U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan was not valid. He argued that after an interim U.S. attorney’s term expires, it is up to the district court to appoint a replacement. In Halligan’s case, Attorney General Pam Bondi appointed her instead of the court.
🚨 BREAKING UPDATE: A federal judge has dismissed the indictments against both James Comey AND Letitia James
Not because their cases lack merit — but because of “PROCEDURAL ISSUES”
TOTAL BS. Luckily, they can both be indicted AGAIN, because the indictments were dismissed… pic.twitter.com/bO1npsR0Sj

Disgraced former FBI Director James Comey praised the Democrat-aligned federal judge who dismissed the criminal case against him this week.
Comey is arguing that the indictment was driven by political animus and mishandled by prosecutors.
The ruling, however, is already being challenged by President Donald Trump’s administration.
The Trump admin maintains that the case was properly brought and plans to continue pursuing legal action.
Activist Judge Cameron Currie, a Bill Clinton appointee, threw out the false-statements charges on Monday.
This fraud would still be happening under a Harris administration.
Recently, 80 Somali Minnesotans were charged in connection to the Feeding Our Future fraud scheme.
Prosecutors claimed Somalians living in Minnesota stole hundreds of millions of dollars from a fund that was supposed to be used for feeding hungry children during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The fraud scheme also involved Somalians fraudulently obtaining funds through autism service centers.
Federal Appeals Court Ruling Limits Trump’s Plans to Fast-Track Deportations Democracy Now!

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi said Monday that the Department of Justice (DOJ) will pursue “all available legal action” after a federal judge dismissed high-profile criminal cases against former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James.
Bondi spoke in Memphis while highlighting the city’s “Safe Task Force.”
She addressed the decision by U.S. District Judge Cameron Currie, who ruled that the prosecutor handling the indictments, Lindsey Halligan, had not been lawfully appointed as interim U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia.
The ruling accepted the argument from Comey’s legal team that Halligan’s appointment was invalid, rendering both indictments defective.
An unelected, inferior-court activist judge tossed the grand jury indictment against disgraced former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James on Monday, arguing that federal prosecutor Lindsay Halligan was unlawfully appointed.
Judge Cameron Currie, a Clinton appointee, ruled Monday that Halligan was unlawfully appointed and that the indictments against both Comey and James are invalid.
“On September 25, 2025, Lindsey Halligan, a former White House aide with no prior prosecutorial experience, appeared before a federal grand jury in the Eastern District of Virginia. Having been appointed Interim U.S. Attorney by the Attorney General just days before, Ms. Halligan secured a two-count indictment charging former FBI Director James B. Comey, Jr. with
making false statements to Congress and obstructing a congressional proceeding,” Currie wrote.
A federal judge on Friday blocked the IRS from sharing details of suspected illegal immigrants with Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
The 94-page ruling said that the plaintiffs – two labor unions and a nonprofit that provides tax advice – and the people whom they represent face “an imminent risk” that their confidential address information will be used by ICE for civil immigration enforcement.
“Accordingly, upon consideration of the parties’ submissions, the relevant legal authority, and the entire record, the Court concludes that Plaintiffs are entitled to a stay of the Address-Sharing Policy and other appropriate injunctive relief, and that Plaintiffs’ APA claim regarding the broader Data Sharing policy should not be dismissed,” the ruling said.
Following the exposure of a massive Somali Fraud scheme that has cost taxpayers millions, President Trump has declared the Somali immigrants in Minnesota have lost their protected immigrant status. The President stated “Minnesota, under Governor [Tim] Walz, is a hub of fraudulent money laundering activity. I am, as President of the United States, hereby terminating, effective immediately, the Temporary Protected Status (TPS Program) for Somalis in Minnesota.”

If U.S. Representative Brandon Gill (R-TX) has his way, D.C. District Judges James Boasberg will soon be impeached, if not immediately suspended. Boasberg is a Progmerican Judge whose recent rulings defy American Rule of Law on its face. The DOJ itself has intervened, filing misconduct charges against the Progmerican Judge. Now, Senator Eric Schmitt (R-MO) has joined the charge.
He posted on X: “No more delays. Judge Boasberg must be suspended immediately. Impeachment is underway. He should not get to hear another case – this afternoon I led the effort to make that suspension happen…”

In virtually every conversation about activist judges, D.C. District Chief Judge James Boasberg’s name quickly comes up. He approved the spying on Republican congressmembers in former Special Counsel Jack Smith’s Arctic Frost probe, and he forbade telecommunications companies like Verizon from revealing that they had received subpoenas. In July of this year, the DOJ filed misconduct charges against him for making public comments implying that the Trump administration would likely defy decisions from federal courts…
A United States federal judge has said the Trump administration must pause its deployment of National Guard troops to Washington, DC, a setback for the president’s push to send the military into cities across the country.
US District Judge Jia Cobb temporarily suspended the deployment in a ruling on Thursday, responding to a lawsuit filed by city officials who said Trump had usurped policing powers and was using the military for domestic law enforcement.
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Trump administration’s request to extend the pause of an order to fully fund food aid benefits for a few days.
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson previously granted the emergency pause on an order from U.S. District Judge John McConnell from Rhode Island for the government to fully fund the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. Many on the left excoriated her for what they perceived as a pro-Trump order.
