The Justice Department confirmed Tuesday that it was Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem who authorized the deportation of 100 Venezuelan men to a notorious El Salvador prison in March, despite a federal judge’s order to keep them in U. S. custody, according to a new Politico report. The disclosure came tucked into a response to U. S. District Judge James Boasberg’s demands that the Trump administration identify the officials responsible for the unprecedented deportation operation. Boasberg is now resuming his bid to hold officials in contempt after an appeals court temporarily halted proceedings, according to the outlet.“Noem’s call ensured that the deportees rounded up and expelled with virtual no due process after President Donald Trump invoked war powers to designate them as members of a transnational gang would remain imprisoned in El Salvador under harsh conditions for months, until the U. S. helped broker a prisoner swap that resulted in all of the men being returned to Venezuela,” Politico reported Tuesday. Lawyers for the men, backed by Boasberg, had scrambled to halt the deportations, but Noem’s decision sealed their fate. Justice Department officials said Noem acted based on legal guidance from top DOJ officials, including Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche and then-Principal Associate Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove, as well as DHS lawyers. That advice argued that Boasberg’s oral and subsequent written orders were ineffective once flights had left U. S. airspace.“After receiving that legal advice, Secretary Noem directed that the AEA detainees who had been removed from the United States before the Court’s order could be transferred to the custody of El Salvador,” Justice Department attorney Tiberius Davis wrote in the new court filing obtained by Politico, referencing Alien Enemies Act detainees. “That decision was lawful and was consistent with a reasonable interpretation of the Court’s order.”The judge made clear Tuesday that he intends to uncover the full chain of decisions that led to the controversial mass deportations. “I certainly intend to find out what happened that day,” Boasberg said, “and the government can assist me to whatever degree it wishes.”NEW: DOJ said tonight that it was DHS Secretary Kristi Noem who made the call to proceed with the deportation of more than 100 Venezuelan men to El Salvador, despite a judge’s order seeking to block the transfer. w/ @joshgerstein pic. twitter. com/XvG5b7As8V- Kyle Cheney (@kyledcheney) November 26, 2025.

The United Methodist Church’s financial leaders are sounding the alarm that the denomination is about to be in a world of financial hurt, declaring ‘The church’s financial house is on fire’ during the UMC’s Finance and Administration meeting last week. The ominous comments were made by Bishop David Graves, General Council on Finance and Administration board president, who added ‘My intent is not to create fear but to address the reality with honesty and urgency.” The UMC has lost more than 7500 churches over the last three years, the result of church mass departures and disaffiliations over the denomination’s all-out.

Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE), who sits on the House Armed Services Committee, on Saturday demanded “some people . get fired” over the fallout from a proposed peace plan to end the war in Ukraine. Bacon was specifically referring to a statement from State Department Principal Deputy Spokesperson Tommy Pigott, who on Saturday refuted claims made by U. S. senators at a press conference in Halifax, Nova Scotia. According to Sens. Angus King (I-ME) and Mike Rounds (R-SD), Secretary of State Marco Rubio distanced the United States from the proposed plan, telling senators the leaked 28-point plan “is not of the administration’s position.”The senators cited a phone call from Rubio which “came at their request,” Politico reports.”Rubio, they said, agreed to walk them through the situation and gave the lawmakers permission to describe what he told them,” according to Politico. In a statement on X, King described the plan as “essentially the wish list of the Russians. This is blatantly false,” Pigott wrote Saturday on X in response to King’s tweet. “As Secretary Rubio and the entire administration has consistently maintained, this plan was authored by the United States, with input from both the Russians and Ukrainians.”Responding to Pigott’s statement, Bacon called the peace plan fallout “gross buffoonery” and demanded accountability for the saga.”Some people better get fired on Monday for the gross buffoonery we just witnessed over the last four days,” he wrote on X.”This hurt our country and undermined our alliances, and encouraged our adversaries,” Bacon added. Bacon had previously spoken out against the leaked plan, which Politico reports sparked alarm among lawmakers as “global leaders railed] against it. President Trump’s plan to force Ukraine to give up more territory, to cut its Army by more than half, to never join NATO nor let foreign troops in its territory is an abomination,” Bacon wrote Friday on X. “Freedom loving Americans must tell the President that we reject the worst appeasement seen since 1938. What makes President [Donald] Trump think we can now trust [Russian President Vladimir] Putin? This agreement weakens Ukraine and leaves them vulnerable to new Russian invasions in the years to come.”.
