Biden judge sticks it to Trump by releasing teens who assaulted Big Balls as president celebrates DC crackdown: ‘Everybody’s safe now’
A Biden-appointed judge has defied President Donald Trump by releasing two teenagers accused of assaulting a DOGE employee on the streets of Washington D.C.
The revelation comes shortly after Trump celebrated his success in cracking down on crime in the capital, telling Americans ‘everybody is safe now’ in a Thursday press conference.
Trump had dedicated mass resources to Washington in the weeks after 19-year-old former DOGE staffer Edward ‘Big Balls’ Coristine was attacked on the streets.
Coristine was left bloody, badly beaten and fearing he was concussed on August 5 when he tried to stop a carjacking.
Judge Kendra Briggs, who was appointed by Joe Biden during his presidency, on Thursday ordered the release of the two teenagers believed to be responsible for the crime.
The two suspects, a boy and girl both aged 15, are accused of an attempted carjacking and assaulting Coristine on August 3. Police later shared photos of a third suspect.
The duo, who cannot be named due to their ages, are from Hyattsville Maryland, and have been placed under strict orders in order to be released from juvenile detention.

The girl will move into a youth shelter house, while the boy is permitted to live at his mother’s home.
Both will be required to attend school and will have a strict curfew, as well as electric monitoring.
‘School and home, that’s it,’ Briggs told the duo, according to The Washington Post.
‘The fact that this court is stepping you down from Youth Services Center is a serious step,’ the judge added.
The pair are forbidden from contacting one another, and Briggs assured them that if she heard of any breaches, there would be an emergency hearing scheduled to deal with the consequences.
Each teenager had one parent virtually present at the hearing.
The girl has another pending matter in Maryland, and prosecutors objected to her release, describing her as a danger to the community and a flight risk.

Trump stopped at the United States Park Police headquarters in Anacostia on Thursday to thank local and federal law enforcement for their work to stymie violent crime in the District
At her youth shelter house, she will be subjected to weekly drug tests, and all electronic devices are barred at the facility. The court previously heard she had ‘major truancy issues’ and had been missing from her home for months at a time in the past.
The boy is being permitted to live with his family because the a youth house is a long distance from his school.
‘I don’t want to put hardship on your family,’ Briggs said.
He will also be subjected to random drug testing when meeting with his probation officer. He is barred from visiting Washington D.C. unless he is attending a court hearing.
The decision coincides with Trump’s visit to D.C. on Thursday, where he publicly thanked federal and local law enforcement officers for cleaning up the streets of the capital.
‘It’s like a different place, it’s a different city,’ Trump said, adding: ‘Everybody’s safe now.’
Trump admitted that he even feels ‘more safe’ in D.C. and thanked a group of federal and local law enforcement officers and agents gathered in Anacostia, a D.C. neighborhood known for high crime rates.

The president federalized D.C. this month in a safety and ‘beautification’ effort.
Beyond crime, Trump also wants to rid the streets of the homeless and clean up the graffiti.
‘It was worse than ever just a short while ago,’ Trump told the crowd in southeast D.C. ‘Right now, it’s better than it has been in years. And in a couple of weeks it’s going to be far better than that.’
‘One of the things we’re going to be redoing is your parks,’ the president said. ‘I’m very good at grass because I have a lot of golf courses all over the place. I know more about grass than any human being, I think, anywhere in the world. And we’re going to be re-grassing all of your parks.’
‘You know, like everything else, grass has a life… The grass here died about 40 years ago,’ Trump lamented.
On August 11, Trump announced in a news conference from the White House he was invoking the D.C. Home Rule Act in order to place MPD under federal control.
As of Thursday there were zero murders in D.C. for an entire week, marking a new record.

Over the last five years, there has been an average of between .51 to 1 murders every day.
Trump shared several celebratory posts to his Truth Social on Thursday night further boasting of his success in D.C.
‘MAKE WASHINGTON, D.C. GREAT AGAIN!,’ he wrote about 8.45pm, alongside a picture of himself.
‘You people are winners, and I just think it’s such an honor to be with you—We’re going to Make Washington, D.C. Great Again!,’ he wrote two hours earlier.
