Good morning. Senior DOJ official Emil Bove is expected to face sharp questions as a Senate panel considers his nomination to the 3rd Circuit, a day after a whistleblower alleged Bove was willing to defy court orders. Plus, returned deportee Kilmar Abrego Garcia is due in court over his bail conditions; and Apple is in court over wireless patents. If lettuce can grow in the desert we can power through Wednesday. Let's get going. |

Senior DOJ official Emil Bove is expected to face sharp questions from Democratic lawmakers today as he appears before a U.S. Senate panel on his nomination by President Trump to serve on the 3rd Circuit. Here's what to know: |
- Bove was Trump's personal lawyer and defended the president in a criminal case stemming from hush money paid to porn star Stormy Daniels.
- Trump nominated Bove to the 3rd Circuit last month citing his experience as a terrorism prosecutor and work to end the "weaponization" of the legal justice system against Trump and his supporters. Read more about Bove's experience here.
- Bove's appearance today before the Republican-led Senate Judiciary Committee is likely to include questions from Democrats about his tumultuous tenure in DOJ leadership over the last several months, including his decision to drop a corruption case against New York Mayor Eric Adams.
- Bove's appearance before the panel comes the day after a whistleblower complaint from a former DOJ official, Erez Reuveni, alleged that Bove suggested to colleagues in March, in profane terms, that the government may disregard court orders blocking Trump from using emergency powers to deport migrants. Read more about that here.
- Bove, now the principal deputy assistant attorney general, also will likely face questions about his demand for the FBI to turn over a list of agents who worked on investigations into the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.

That's the estimated annual cost of a new temporary migrant detention facility that officials are calling "Alligator Alcatraz" due to its remote and inhospitable location in the middle of the Florida Everglades.

"The district court's ruling of (Monday) night is a lawless act of defiance that, once again, disrupts sensitive diplomatic relations and slams the brakes on the executive's lawful efforts to effectuate third-country removals."
|
—The DOJ wrote in a filing to the U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday accusing U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy of defying the high court's authority, escalating a fight over a group of eight migrants whom it had sought to rapidly deport to politically unstable South Sudan. The DOJ accused Murphy of ignoring the Supreme Court's decision on Monday that let the administration resume deporting migrants to countries other than their own without offering them a chance to show the harms they could face.

Federal judges routinely deal with some of the worst human behavior, presiding over cases that might include murder, bank robbery or kidnapping. Then there's the conduct that U.S. District Judge T. Kent Wetherell II in Pensacola, Florida, called "absolutely disgusting." Someone stuck gum under the counsel's table in his courtroom. His ensuing order is an instant classic in the long and cantankerous genre of judges castigating lawyers and litigants for breaches of decorum, Jenna Greene writes in On the Case. Read more. |
