The whistleblower said the official “stated that DOJ would need to consider telling the courts ‘f**k you’” and ignore any orders to stop the hasty deportation of migrants.

Documents shared Thursday provide new details about Trump administration efforts to run around a court order to ground flights carrying migrants to a Salvadoran prison, as well as Department of Justice (DOJ) leader Emil Bove’s directive to be prepared to tell the courts “f— you” on the matter.

Emil Bove, a top DOJ official who has been nominated to be an appellate judge, is the subject of whistleblower allegations.
