Dem #110, overall #111 -->
The official announcement:
Rep. Serrano becomes Dem #111 to back an impeachment inquiry. He’s the third of the day.
Dem #112 backs an impeachment innquiry:
Eleanor Holmes Norton, D.C.'s delegate, backs an impeachment inquiry. Her support doesn't matter to the overall math because she doesn't get a floor vote -- but she does inside the Democratic caucus.

norton.house.gov/media-center/p…
Dem #113 and a big one: Rep. Jennifer Wexton, frmo a tough swing district.
Wexton is from the VA district previously held by Republican Rep. Barbara Comstock. She's one of a small group of other Dem freshmen who won GOP-held districts to call for an inquiry

The others: Porter, Mike Levin, Rouda, Casten, Malinowski, Pappas, Mucarsel-Powell, Schrier.
ANOTHER BIG ONE: Rep. Engel backs an impeachment inquiry. He’s one of the six chairmen Pelosi tasked with investigating Trump. Dem #114
That means two of the six — Engel and Waters — are publicly advocating for an impeachment inquiry. And Nadler has privately advocated. The others are Schiff, Neal and Cummings.
Engel is also an outsize voice in the NY delegation, which includes a few Dems who haven’t backed an inquiry yet — including Reps. Jeffries, Lowey and Meeks.
DEM #115 is another swing district freshman. Rep. Jason Crow: medium.com/@Rep.JasonCrow…
Judy CHU is the 116th House Democrat to back an impeachment inquiry.

In a late night filing, DOJ says Kilmar Abrego Garcia should be returned to detention because he is subject to laws governing detention during deportation proceedings — and “may seek a bond hearing” before an immigration judge. However … storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…Image
The administration has been arguing in thousands of cases that people in Abrego’s position are not entitled to bond hearings at all — and rather are subject to mandatory detention. Hundreds of judges across the country have ruled that position illegal politico.com/news/2025/11/2…
And DOJ knows, but doesn’t mention here, that the immigration courts are all bound by a recent Board of Immigration Appeals ruling — breaking with decades of precedent — finding that bond hearings are not available to virtually anyone facing deportation proceedings. politico.com/news/2025/09/0…

HAPPENING NOW: Taylor Taranto, a pardoned Jan. 6 defendant who was convicted for bringing weapons to Obama’s neighborhood, has returned to DC and has been roaming Rep. Jamie Raskin’s neighborhood — alarming police.

Today, DOJ asked a judge to immediately re-jail him.
Taranto lives in WA state but drove across the country in recent weeks. He has filmed ominous videos from the Pentagon parking lot and was wandering Raskin’s Takoma Park area at 2am. DOJ says it’s nearly identical conduct to what he was charged for in 2023.
Judge Nichols, who convicted Taranto in a bench trial earlier this year, is weighing whether to detain him immediately for violating his supervised release conditions.

NEW: ICE’s policy of mass detaining immigrants w pending deportation proceedings has led to an avalanche of rejections in court.

More than 220 judges — including 23 Trump appointees — have called it an illegal distortion of long-settled law. politico.com/news/2025/11/2…Image
Those judges have ruled against the administration more than 700 times since ICE implemented its draconian new policy on July 8.

Only 8 judges have side with ICE’s position. politico.com/news/2025/11/2…Image
The cases have surged as ICE reclassified millions who have resided in the United States for years as “arriving aliens” or “applicants for admission” — making them subject to mandatory detention typically meant for those who just crossed the border. politico.com/news/2025/11/2…Image

BREAKING: Comey case dismissed without prejudice. Halligan invalidly appointed, judge rules. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…Image
This applies to the Letitia James indictment as well. Both cases are now dismissed without prejudice. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
NEWS: The criminal cases against James Comey and Letitia James are gone. A federal judge ruled that the appointment of Lindsey Halligan as the lead prosecutor was illegal.

DOJ could try again, but there are other headwinds.

JUST IN: A federal judge says one of the Venezuelan men — illegally deported to El Salvador in March before he was swapped back to Venezuela in a prisoner exchange — is now missing, possibly a victim of the violence he was seeking asylum from.

storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…Image
Judge Stephanie Gallagher, a Trump appointee in MD, says the administration flagrantly and repeatedly defied her orders to provide regular updates about the man’s return. But she stops short of finding contempt bc it was Rubio, who isn’t named in the lawsuit, who was responsible for communicating w El Salvador
