The judge’s department accuses the best immigration lawyer of not following orders

An immigration lawyer from the Ministry of Justice was put on indefinite leave on Saturday after questioning the Trump administration’s decision to deport a man from Maryland to Salvador – one day after represented the government in court.

Deputy Prosecutor General Todd Blanche suspended Erez Rebeni, the acting deputy director of the Department’s Immigration Dispute Division, for having “followed a directive of your superiors”, according to a letter sent to Mr. Rebeni and obtained by the New York Times.

Mr. Reundi – who was congratulated as a prosecutor “first -rate” by his superiors in an email announcing his promotion two weeks ago – is the last responsible for the career to be suspended, to dismantle, to transfer or to dismiss for having refused to comply with a directive of the person named by President Trump to take measures that they decrease or not ethical.

“In my direction, each lawyer of the Ministry of Justice is required to defend zealously on behalf of the United States,” the prosecutor General Pam Bondi wrote on Saturday in a statement sent to Times. “Any lawyer who does not respect this direction will be faced with consequences.”

On Friday, by a federal judge, Mr. Reveni conceded that the expulsion last month of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, who had an order of the court allowing him to stay in the United States, should never have happened. REVOUVENI also said that he had been frustrated when the case landed on his desk.

REVOUVENI, a veteran respected of 15 years of the immigration division, asked the judge for 24 hours to persuade his “client”, the Trump administration, to start the recovery and repatriation process of Mr. Abrego Garcia.
