A federal judge has ruled that Roger Rogoff, the judicially appointed U.S. attorney in Seattle, has been illegally fired by the Trump admin and must be provisionally reinstated by the Justice Department.

A long and comprehensive opinion, but this jumped out at me: The judge accused the Federal Protective Service—which was called in to suppress the protests—of lying under oath to slander the regular Portland police.😬 DOJ recently admitted that other FPS claims in this case were objectively false.
As related to the time period immediately before the President’s callout of the National
Guard, this Court heard testimony from FPS officers that PPB does not respond to their requests
and that FPS stopped calling PPB altogether.13 The Court does not find this testimony to be
credible. FPS did call PPB for help, and PPB routinely responded to these calls for help. One
example is PPB’s response to the suspicious abandoned vehicle left near the ICE facility on
August 16, 2025. FPS Commander W.T. testified that the Portland Metro Explosive Disposal
unit responded “really fast.” Tr. 10/30/2025 549:2–6. The FPS report from that day shows that
the response included an Explosives Detection Canine Team responding on scene roughly half
an hour after the vehicle was abandoned. Ex. 835 at 5. No bomb was discovered, and the vehicle
was later towed. Id.

Genuinely an insane paragraph from Sam Alito. “Voter fraud is real and scary and we have to stop it, so the fact that implementing Trump’s mail ballot rule will disenfranchise millions is legally irrelevant.” Brain melted. A right-wing podcaster in a robe. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

As for the equities, the Government has a strong interest
in enforcing the rule, and implementing it will also “en-
