A federal judge blocked FBI Director Kash Patel’s attempt to move his bureau’s headquarters down the street to the Ronald Reagan Building, saying he broke laws governing site selection.
Judge Theodore Chuang, an Obama appointee, sided with Maryland and Prince George’s County, which had been the leading location for the future HQ site until Mr. Patel decided to keep it inside the District.
Judge Chuang said the order restores the plans to build in Greenbelt, just over the Maryland-D.C. line — though he pointed out that Congress has yet to give final approval to that location.
He said Congress controls federal property and wrote laws governing the site selection process, settling on final potential locations in Maryland and Virginia.
Mr. Patel’s attempt to stay inside Washington broke those laws.

Roberts: We Don’t Have Obama Judges or Trump Judges
https://www.findlaw.com/legalblogs/supreme-court/roberts-we-dont-have-obama-judges-or-trump-judges/
Totally un-F’n believable as to what Robert’s minions are capable of inserting themselves into while they have a Yuge backlog of other issues to attend to.
Pretty sure Congress doesn’t need any help reigning in the Executive branch. Just another political judgement.
“And while Roberts’s call for us to all be thankful for an independent judiciary might seem a bit forced this holiday season, maybe just being thankful for the courts’ inherently un-partisan adherence to civil procedure and precedent.”
TOTAL BS...[much like Traitor Roberts...]
The Judge fell for it!
“don’t throw me into that briar patch!”
FBI Director K. Patel has kept a relatively low profile for the past few months. I’m very happy about that.
Congress can control all the property they want.
FBI is Executive Branch.
wouldn’t want KaSH FINDING some more of those ‘secret’ rooms,
Judge Theodore Chuang, an Obama appointee,
Xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Can this black robe speak English?
What country did he immigrate in from?
Does his spouse or any member of his family benefit directly or indirectly from any PAC, legal firm or consulting firm or NGO
Only suckers ‘follow the law’ now. Ever, from the top to the induvial. It’s 1984 level all over.
The whole judiciary is foreigners. Un-EFFFING-believable!
Why have a President and executive branch if judges are the final arbiters of all executive branch decisions?
Oh please this one is silly. He’s going to make them build a huge structure somewhere else when they already have a place to move into?
Mr. Patel, move your offices where you damn well want. Will that Judge send officers to prevent it? I think not.
Born in Pennsylvania to Taiwanese immigrant parents.
Harvard Law graduate. Previous major rulings against Trump have been overturned.
I’m all for putting the FBI in Prince George’s County, although Suitland would be better than Greenbelt. Either way, they’ll have to be on their toes at all times. That said, what with the local contractors and DEI workers, the new building won’t last long.
This one will be also!
