According to News ABCit Department of Justice He informed the lawyer that he was on leave by a “zealous defense failure” of the government.
“In my direction, all the solicitors of the Department of Justice must defend Zel on behalf of the United States,” said Attorney General Pam Bondi in a statement, according to ABC News. “Any lawyer who does not fulfill this direction will face consequences.”
The Deputy Director of the Litigation Immigration Office is also put in paid administrative permission. Additionally, Reuveni Supervisor Augustus is permission not to supervise a subordinate. “
Why did the Department of Justice suspend Erez Reuveni?
According to the Los Angeles TimesReuveni was on leave after the court admitted that Kilmar Abrego Garcia was deported by mistake. Speaking to Fox News Sunday, Attorney General Pam Bondi compared Reuveni’s actions to “a defense lawyer who entered, granting something in a criminal matter.”
“This would never happen in this country,” Bondi told Fox News, in Los Angeles Times. “So it is now in administrative permission and we will see what happens.”
Why does the US deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia?
Abrego Garcia was arrested in Maryland in March and deported to El Salvador, despite having a permit from the National Security Department to work in the United States, the 29-year-old Salvador has been working as a sheet apprentice since an American judge ruled in 2019 that he is protected from deportation because he could face the persecution of his country of origin.
The White House, however, labeled Garcia as a member of the MS-13 band. Garcia’s lawyers argued that the Government has no evidence to demonstrate its claims.
A federal judge has asked the Trump administration twice to return to Garcia. Although the government says that Garcia cannot be returned because she is not in the United States custody, United States District Judge Paula Chinese disagrees.
“As the defendants acknowledge, they had no legal authority to arrest him, nor any justification to detain him, and there is no reason to send it to El Salvador, much less to be given to one of the most dangerous prisons in the western hemisphere,” Chainsis wrote in Times. “After confessing a serious mistake, the defendants now argue that this court does not have the power to listen to this case and that they do not have the power to order Garcia’s return.”
