DOJ suspends lawyer for failing to ‘vigorously’ argue case of mistakenly deported Maryland man

  • Erez Reuveni, a top immigration attorney at the Department of Justice, was placed on indefinite leave for questioning the deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who should not have been deported according to Reuveni.
  • Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche suspended Reuveni for not adhering to directives from superiors regarding Garcia's case, which involved affirming the deportation despite acknowledging it was a mistake.
  • U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis found that the deportation was illegal and ordered Garcia's return to the U.S. Before Monday, giving the government a deadline to act.
  • Attorney General Pam Bondi stated that Department of Justice attorneys are required to zealously advocate on behalf of the U.S., and any failure to comply would result in consequences.
