A Washington D.C. judge, Kendra D. Briggs, appointed by President Joe Biden, has ordered the release of two 15-year-old teenagers accused of assaulting Edward Coristine, a former Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) staffer known as "Big Balls." The attack occurred during an attempted carjacking. The judge ruled that the boy would be placed under home detention with electronic monitoring and a 24-hour curfew, allowing him to attend school, while the girl was sent to a youth shelter. Both teens were previously held in juvenile custody. The decision has drawn criticism from various quarters, with calls for federal custody for the suspects. The case involves eight other suspects who have not yet been arrested.
