EDITING to link to a Bluesky page with a very long thread about the hearing from Aaron Reichlin-Melnick, Senior Fellow at the American Immigration Council.
Listening in on this now. Apparently Chief Judge Boasberg is wearing casual clothes because he went away for the weekend and didn't bring his robes with him.
