What kinds of tangible remedies does the judge have in this case? I don’t know.
He can jail the government attorneys and heads of the relevant agencies for a start. He may not do it but he certainly has the power to A federal judge is pretty much sovereign is his courtroom and they take being lied to by defendants or their counsel very, very seriously.
He can have disbarment proceedings begun against the government lawyers. That would get their attention and loosen a few tongues. He can fine them personally.
A pissed off federal judge can make someone’s life pretty miserable if he wants to.

Start arresting the underlings and this crap will stop right away.
“What kinds of tangible remedies does the judge have in this case? I don’t know.”
The judge said some time ago that he could disbar those lawyers if they deceived him on purpose. He can also make them “un-do” what they did.
This is not your average judge. He is sitting near the border of Texas and witnessing the problem of illegals coming in. Plus, he’s a Texan in all that means.
