Judge in Alien Enemies Act case to oversee case about Signal chat

The judge who the government has argued can't be trusted with sensitive information in the Alien Enemies Act case
-- has been assigned to a case about top government officials appearing to share sensitive information on the commercial messaging application Signal. 

U.S. District Court Judge James #Boasberg in the District of Columbia has been assigned to oversee the case of American Oversight against top officials involved in a Signal group chat about an attack in Yemen.
The lawsuits seeks to make sure the officials are not using the app to get around federal record-keeping requirements.  
“Messages in the Signal chat about official government actions, including, but not limited to, national security deliberations, are #federal #records and must be preserved in accordance with federal statutes, and agency directives, rules, and regulations,” the plaintiffs argue. 
Tulsi #Gabbard is one of the defendants in the case, and used the suit as argument for why she couldn't answer some questions about the group chat in today's House hearing.
"As a result of that pending litigation, I'm limited in my ability to comment further" on the case, she testified.
#Boasberg is overseeing a separate civil case in which alleged Venezuelan gang members have sued to stop from being deported under Trump's invocation of the rarely used Alien Enemies Act.

The administration has refused to answer some of the judge's questions about the initial March 15 deportations in the case and suggested in a filing it did not believe the court could be trusted with such sensitive information

Trump on Tuesday fired the only two Democratic members of the #Federal #Trade #Commission,
handing the remaining Republican commissioners exclusive control over the body that oversees antitrust and consumer protection laws.

Commissioners Alvaro Bedoya and Rebecca Slaughter announced on the social media site X on Tuesday evening that they were fired,
both asserting that their firings were illegal.
