By Perry Stein and Katie Mettler
The Justice Department suspended a veteran lawyer after he said in court that officials mistakenly deported a man to prison in his home country of El Salvador and conceded that he did not know the legal basis for the expulsion.
Erez Reuveni had worked at the Justice Department for nearly 15 years, most recently as the acting deputy director of the Office of Immigration Litigation. A Justice Department official, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss a personnel matter, said he was put on indefinite leave.

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

12. Not surprising

This is not surprising. He told the truth and is basically sidelined for it. This administration is the worst in my lifetime. They are nothing but a bunch of grifters and liars.
