Left-Wing Watchdog Targets Trump Officials in Signal App Scandal Involving Yemen Strike and Immigration Showdown
In a shocking judicial twist, U.S. Judge James Boasberg—an Obama-appointed judge—has ordered all parties involved in a leaked, Trump-era encrypted chat to preserve their Signal messages, raising fresh concerns over judicial overreach and political bias in the courtroom.
At the heart of the controversy is a lawsuit filed by American Oversight, a liberal organization with a history of targeting conservative leaders. The group alleges that senior officials from the Trump administration may have violated federal recordkeeping laws while using the Signal app to discuss a potential military strike against the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen.
📰 What Makes This Case Even Stranger?
According to reports, Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of the far-left Atlantic magazine, was accidentally included in the high-level chat—an eyebrow-raising breach that has triggered serious concerns about national security leaks and insider media access.
During a brief 25-minute hearing, Judge Boasberg directed the preservation of all messages exchanged between March 11 and March 15, the critical period during which U.S. officials were reportedly coordinating military plans in the Middle East.
⚖️ Boasberg Under Fire from President Trump
Boasberg, who recently came under scrutiny for blocking President Trump’s use of the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelan nationals—including suspected gang members from Tren de Aragua—opened the hearing by insisting he was randomly assigned the case through the court’s electronic docket system.
Just hours earlier, President Donald Trump blasted Boasberg on social media, accusing him of “grabbing the Trump cases for himself,” a claim that continues to gain traction among conservatives concerned about politically motivated rulings.
📌 “That’s how it works, and that’s how all cases continue to be assigned in this court,” Boasberg claimed, in a move many saw as damage control.
✈️ Deportation Flights Ignored Judge’s Order
In a related development, the Trump administration has faced backlash for allegedly failing to comply with Boasberg’s ruling on deportation flights. According to court records, the flights carried over 260 illegal migrants, including Venezuelan nationals and alleged criminals, from the U.S. to El Salvador—despite a federal bench order demanding their immediate return.
🚨 Critics argue this exposes a national security risk, while supporters of the administration say it reflects necessary action in the face of a broken immigration system.
🔐 DOJ Tries to Hide Details with ‘State Secrets Privilege’
This week, the Biden Justice Department invoked the rarely used state secrets privilege, which allows the government to shield sensitive information from court review—prompting concerns that the DOJ may be sidelining transparency to avoid damaging revelations.
🏛️ Trump Administration Appeals to U.S. Supreme Court
In response to what many see as a politically charged legal crusade, the Trump administration has vowed to take the case to the Supreme Court. This comes after a 2-1 decision by the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld Boasberg’s temporary block on deportation flights.
🔊 Conservatives across the country are now asking:
Is our justice system truly neutral—or are unelected judges driving a political agenda behind the bench?
