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.

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.

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

BREAKING: Prosecutors in the Comey case just told the judge that they’re under orders from the Deputy Attorney Generals’s office not to disclose whether career prosecutors wrote a memo recommending *against* indicting Comey prior to Halligan going to the grand jury.
AUSA Tyler Lemons told Judge Nachmanoff that he hasn’t gotten permission to disclose what could be considered “privileged” or “work product” material. He did say he asked to review and possible declination memo and has seen “drafts.”
NEW: The prosecution of James Comey is hanging by a thread, besieged on all sides by challenges to the legitimacy of the prosecutor, the grand jury process and the motives for bringing the case in the first place.

BREAKING: A panel of federal judges has enjoined Texas from using its redrawn congressional maps , ordering the state to use its 2021 boundaries. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…Image
NEWS: A panel of Texas judges, led by a Trump appointee, concluded that Texas' mega-redistricting push was likely an illegal racial gerrymander and must be blocked from taking effect.

@andrewjfhoward @joshgerstein The court also sharply rejected the notion that its ruling would disrupt the midterms. The filing deadline hasn't passed, the judges say, and if anyone is to blame, it's the state for operating on a rushed timeline. politico.com/news/2025/11/1…Image

BREAKING: Magistrate orders DOJ to turn over grand jury materials to Comey, finding real prospect that "government misconduct" may have tainted the case. Image
MORE: The magistrate said an FBI agent who may have viewed Comey's privileged materials was nevertheless permitted to present evidence to the grand jury — a "highly irregular" decision and "radical departure" for DOJ. He was the only witness at the GJ. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…Image
👀Fitzpatrick said Halligan made two apparent "fundamental misstatements of law" to the grand jury that could threaten the case. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…Image
