Justice Department suspends lawyer who criticized Trump administration in deportation case

(USA Today) WASHINGTON ― The Department of Justice on Saturday placed on leave one of its top immigration lawyers one day after he questioned in court the Trump administration's handling of the deportation of a Maryland man to El Salvador that was carried out in error.

Attorney General Pam Bondi confirmed in a statement the suspension of Erez Reuveni, who represented the government Friday when a federal judge ruled the Trump administration acted illegally by mistakenly deporting Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

“At my direction, every Department of Justice attorney is required to zealously advocate on behalf of the United States. Any attorney who fails to abide by this direction will face consequences," Bondi said.

What the hell is he supposed to say?
They made no effort to report to the court or give him anything to present.

Bondi is just using this to show her loyalty to Trump. That’s really all she has.

The attorney in the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case was suspended by Bondi for not lying to the court and coming up with a bogus explanation for deportation of this man. The Court of appeals called Bondi out on this

This is a major call out of Bondi by this Court of Appeals
