Anna Bower & Katie Phang are live posting the Boasberg/Venezuela/Trump hearing. I'm combining their posts here
1/..
HAPPENING NOW: Judge Boasberg is presiding over hearing regarding whether the Trump admin violated court order temp barring removal of Venezuelan migrants.
He kicks off by questioning DOJ about timeline re: when flights took off on Saturday.
He advises parties that he intends to conduct fact-finding today to determine whether the Trump Administration defied his court orders.

2/ Atty Gabriel Malor, too. More:
Gov't attorney then waffles, says he doesn't have authorization to disclose the information even to the judge.
Now gov't attorney Kambli claims the information is classified.
Judge Boasberg is not having it, points out he reviews classified information all the time in camera.
Brad Moss: Judges have the authority to order the government to reveal classified information directly to them in secure settings.

3/ Emptywheel:
One other wrinkle of the conflict over the AEA deportations: Two members of the ACLU team, Ashley Gorski and Patrick Toomey, are the two lawyers most persistently challenging FISA shenanigans in the last 10 years--recently got a big 702 win.
They've butted heads w/ and over James Boasberg in past.
