“Erez Reuveni, a former justice department attorney who was dismissed from his post, has provided text messages to the Senate judiciary committee supporting his whistleblower complaint involving Emil Bove, a top department official who is currently being considered for a seat on the federal bench. Reuveni’s initial complaint, filed last month, included the explosive allegation that Bove had told justice department lawyers that they ‘would need to consider telling the courts ‘fuck you’ and ignore any such court order’ blocking efforts to remove immigrants to El Salvador. … During a hearing before the Senate judiciary committee last month, Bove denied that he had ever instructed justice department attorneys to defy a court order. … But the messages released by Reuveni suggest that justice department lawyers were, at the very least, aware of the possibility they might have to ignore judicial orders.” (07/10/25)
