Judicial Corruption and Misdirection
- Thread starter GURPS
- Start date
A federal judge in Chicago has ordered the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to release more than 600 illegal immigrants held at a suburban detention center, blasting the agency for "repeated, material violations" of a court-approved consent decree that limited who could be detained under U.S. immigration law.
U.S. District Judge Jeffrey Cummings ruled that more than 600 detainees being held at the Broadview ICE center must be released "on bond and into ICE’s Alternatives to Detention (ATD) program" by Nov. 21, citing what he called a "pattern of unlawful arrests and confinement."
The order stems from Margarito Castañon Nava v. DHS, a class-action lawsuit claiming federal agents unlawfully detained hundreds of migrants who were not subject to mandatory detention or final removal orders, a direct violation of a 2021 Biden-era decree inherited by the Trump administration.
In the ruling, Cummings accused DHS of holding migrants in "unsafe and unsanitary" conditions, saying detainees had been kept in overcrowded buildings "next to overflowing toilets." The judge further said the department’s recent reversal on detention authority represented a "180-degree change" from previous legal interpretations.

Exclusive: GOP Leaders Grill Judge Boasberg For Allowing Jack Smith To Spy On The Senate
As The Federalist reported, Boasberg approved a scheme under the Department of Justice’s Arctic Frost weaponization against Republicans in which Smith could subpoena the phone records of House and Senate Republicans and attach a nondisclosure order (NDO) so that the congressional bodies could not find out about it from the telecommunications providers being subpoenaed.
The Republican lawmakers note that of the 43 subpoenas issued to Verizon and two issued to AT&T, all had NDOs, and 19 were approved by Boasberg, including on official devices issued by the Senate Sergeant-at-Arms (SAA).
The Federalist obtained a letter sent Thursday from Sens. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Ron Johnson, R-Wis., chair of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, and Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, chair of the House Judiciary Committee, to Boasberg pointing to federal law that explicitly prohibits his actions.
The letter notes that “2 U.S.C. § 6628 provides that no law, rule, or regulation may be used to prevent a service provider from notifying a Senate office that data or records have been sought through legal process,” the letter states. “Specifically, this section states, ‘any provider for a Senate office … shall not be barred, through operation of any court order or any statutory provision, from notifying the Senate office of any legal process seeking disclosure” (emphasis original).
Part of the law’s purpose is to give the Senate the ability to stop any such subpoenas on separation of powers grounds. But, as The Federalist CEO Sean Davis stated, “Boasberg issued the illegal gag order precisely to prevent the Senate from going to court to vindicate its rights. … He knew the Senate would have IMMEDIATELY gone to court to nuke the Biden administration’s illegal spying against at least eight U.S. senators.”
To that end, the legislators are looking for answers about the extent to which Boasberg reckoned with that statute in his approval of the NDOs.
The only explanation, at least for the subpoena of the records for Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, is that Boasberg claimed he thought Cruz would destroy or tamper with evidence, intimidate potential witnesses, or put “serious jeopardy to the investigation” — something the legislators called “absurd on its face.”
OUTRAGE ON CAPITOL HILL: Rogue Judges Boasberg and Boardman Now Refuse to Testify Before the Senate
His decision came even as the White House sought to remove terrorist members linked to the Venezuelan group Tren de Aragua.
Boasberg’s ruling described the mass deportation attempt as lacking due process, since there was no precedent for using the AEA against illegal immigrants in peacetime.
Republicans who view expedited deportation as vital to national security and border integrity see Boasberg’s ruling as judicial overreach.
Boasberg’s fingerprints are also all over the shadowy Arctic Frost FBI operation.
The Biden-era witch hunt that spied on the private communications and cell phones of at least eight Republican senators and nearly a dozen GOP lawmakers probing 2020 election irregularities.
We’re talking secret subpoenas for toll records, intercepted calls, and a full-on surveillance dragnet approved under the radar by none other than Boasberg himself.
In a statement shared on X, investigative commentator Mike Benz laid out three specific criminal charges that Attorney General Pam Bondi could immediately bring against Judge Boasberg in connection to the Arctic Frost scandal.
Meanwhile, Judge Boardman, the Maryland radical judge, has turned her courtroom into a sanctuary for open-borders chaos. Boardman has blocked Trump’s executive order on birthright citizenship.
In August 2025, Boardman issued a nationwide injunction blocking the administration’s order to roll back “birthright citizenship,” effectively rejecting an effort by the current White House to restore a meaningful safeguard on automatic citizenship for children of illegal immigrants.
Oh, Come On! Clinton-Appointed Judge Jumps in to Stop Trump's Wind Project Order
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:
On Trump’s first day in office (January 20), he issued an executive order titled “Temporary Withdrawal of All Areas on the Outer Continental Shelf from Offshore Wind Leasing and Review of the Federal Government’s Leasing and Permitting Practices for Wind Projects.” The name is pretty long-winded, but you get the idea: he’s not a fan of the ineffective, costly, environmentally harmful wind projects. (You might just be able to guess where I stand on them, too).
Apparently, though, Judge Saris knows better than the duly elected commander-in-chief. Saris:
You know it’s a questionable decision when New York Attorney General Letitia James is a fan. The ruling is "a big victory in our fight to keep tackling the climate crisis," she crowed on social media.
That's a man baby!!!
