Federal Judge James Boasberg is expanding his criminal contempt investigation into Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s role in a controversial deportation case. He has ordered top DOJ lawyer Drew Ensign to testify under oath about decisions in March that led to migrants being deported to El Salvador under the Alien Enemies Act, despite court orders to halt flights. The judge also wants to hear from ex-Justice Department official Erez Reuveni, who has alleged that government officials planned to ignore court orders amid aggressive Trump-era deportation efforts. This comes after Noem provided limited and unclear sworn statements about the episode, raising questions about potential deliberate violations of court orders. Will these testimonies reveal possible misconduct?

You’ve got Donald Trump and Marjorie Taylor Greene throwing shade at each other like two chaotic exes fighting over who gets to call themselves “the real patriot.”Every week, there’s a new passive-aggressive jab, a weird Truth Social rant, or a cryptic tweet that sounds like a breakup song written in ALL […]

Also #ForrestGump comes to mind too 😄
