Biden Appointed Judge Orders Release of ‘Teens’ Who Violently Attacked Ex-DOGE Employee Edward Coristine, AKA “Big Balls”

• Alleged Attack & Arrests
  On August 3, Edward “Big Balls” Coristine—a 19-year-old former DOGE staffer—was brutally beaten by a group of about 10 teens during an attempted carjacking in Washington, D.C. He intervened to protect his partner and sustained a concussion in the attack. Two 15-year-old suspects, a girl and a boy from Maryland, were apprehended.

• Judge Briggs Orders Conditional Release
  D.C. Superior Court Judge Kendra D. Briggs, a Biden appointee, ruled that the teens be moved from juvenile detention to less restrictive settings. The girl was placed in a youth shelter, while the boy was allowed to return to his mother’s home—this was due to logistical challenges with the shelter’s proximity to his school.

• Stringent Restrictions Imposed
  Despite release, both teens face strict oversight including electronic monitoring, 24-hour curfews, and a prohibition against contacting each other or possessing weapons. The girl also faces weekly drug testing and is banned from using electronics at her shelter.

• Court Controversy
  Prosecutors objected to the release, arguing the girl posed a flight risk and a danger to the community; they also noted her chronic truancy and a separate pending case in Maryland. Briggs weighed these concerns and decided on the less restrictive arrangement based on behavior and location constraints.

• Political Fallout
  The case triggered the federalization of D.C.’s police force and deployment of the National Guard—actions initiated by President Trump, who used the episode as justification for his aggressive crime response in the capital
