I like a radiant oil heater in my room, that way we can keep the rest of the house cooler.

UPDATE: DOJ filed its response, maintaining its opposition to contempt proceedings, but identifying Ensign, Blanche, Bove, Mazzara, and Noem as having been involved in discussions from Boasberg’s March 15 TRO to the decision not to “recall the flights” taking people to El Salvador under the AEA.
3. Deputy Assistant Attorney General Drew Ensign promptly conveyed both this Court's oral directives and its written order to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), through its Office of General Counsel, and to the leadership of the Department of Justice (DOJ. 4. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche and Principal Associate Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove provided DHS with legal advice regarding the Court's order as to flights that had left the United States before the order issued, through DHS Acting General Counsel Joseph Mazzara. Mr. Mazzara then conveyed that legal advice, as well as his own legal advice, to Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem. See 6 U.S.C. § 113(a)(1)(J). After receiving that legal advice, Secretary Noem directed that the AEA detainees who had been removed from the United States before the Court's order could be transferred to the custody of El Salvador. As explained below, that decision was lawful and was consistent with a reasonable interpretation of the Court's order. 5. Although the substance of the legal advice given to DHS and Secretary Noem is privileged, the Government has repeatedly explained in its briefs-both in this Court and on 2 Case 1:25-cv-00766-JEB Document 195 Filed 11/25/25 Page 3 of 5 appeal-why its actions did not violate the Court's order, much less constitute contempt. Specifically, the Court's written order did not purport to require the return of detainees who had already been removed, and the earlier oral directive was not a binding injunction, especially after the written order.
