According to Aaron Reichlin-Melnick, senior fellow at the American Immigration Council, the Justice Department has confirmed that DHS Secretary Kristi Noem personally issued the order for those planes full of Venezuelan gang members not to turn around and return home, as was ordered by Judge James Boasberg. That was the first time he’d appeared on our radar.

As you know, Rep. Eric Swalwell was referred for a criminal probe earlier this month based on allegations of mortgage and tax fraud related to a Washington, D.C., home. Swalwell says two can play at that game and is filing suit.

Misty Severi reports:
California Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell on Tuesday sued a Trump administration official, accusing him of violating privacy laws and the First Amendment in order to refer him to the Justice Department over allegations of mortgage and tax fraud.
Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte referred Swalwell to the Justice Department for investigation earlier this month over allegations that he committed fraud by referring to his Washington, D.C., home as his primary residence.
Swalwell claimed in the lawsuit, which was filed in Washington, D.C., that Pulte’s referral was in retaliation of his criticisms of President Donald Trump, which would violate the First Amendment’s “bedrock prohibition on viewpoint-based retaliation.”
Doesn’t matter, a suit doesn’t stop investigation.

How does every establishment case get assigned to this judge?
Preordained outcome. https://t.co/S6LygaHlfO

Does anyone believe this was in ANY way “randomly assigned” to Boasberg?
The House needs to suspend Boasberg pending impeachment investigation, get him off the bench, investigate him…

@grok what are the odds that this activist judge keeps getting these cases?
— Niki (@blueniki) November 26, 2025
Bizarre how he seems to be assigned ALL the deep state lawsuits. Uncanny coincidence.

Of course it was randomly assigned to him.
Everything is randomly assigned to him.

The least shocking news of all times. Luckiest judge ever. He just gets them one after another, even on vacation.

It is weird that Boasberg manages to get assigned to all of the high-profile cases involving the Trump administration.
