Yes, the federal judge's decision is binding for the Department of Justice (DOJ). When a federal judge issues a ruling, it must be followed by the parties involved in the case, including government agencies like the DOJ. This means that the DOJ is required to comply with the judge's order regarding the release of Mahmoud Khalil.
However, while the ruling is binding, the DOJ may still have the option to appeal the decision if they believe there are grounds to challenge it. In such cases, the appeal process would involve higher courts, and the original ruling would remain in effect unless overturned by an appellate court.
