Unidentified Court Source (court contact)

An anonymized court contact who supplies procedural intelligence to the White House team about Simon Cruz's appeals. The contact delivers time‑sensitive, informal updates — here confidently reporting that the case would be sent back to the Sixth Circuit — and thus compresses the staff's decision window even when the information proves incorrect. Functioning as a bridge between courthouse actors and executive advisers, the source shapes perceived timelines and political urgency while remaining unnamed and operationally defined by access rather than formal office.
