Mr. Reuveni also said he had been frustrated when the case landed on his desk.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Reuveni, a respected 15-year veteran of the immigration division, asked the judge for 24 hours to persuade his \u201cclient,\u201d the Trump administration, to begin the process of retrieving and repatriating Mr. Abrego Garcia.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Less than 24 hours later, Mr. Blanche, President Trump\u2019s former criminal defense lawyer, accused Mr. Reuveni of \u201cengaging in conduct prejudicial to your client.\u201d Mr. Blanche suspended Mr. Reuveni with pay, cut off access to his work email and blocked him from performing any duties related to his job.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The judge in the case, Paula Xinis of the Federal District Court in Washington, said that officials had <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/04\/04\/us\/politics\/trump-deportations-maryland-man-el-salvador.html\" title=\"\">acted without \u201clegal basis\u201d<\/a> when they arrested Mr. Abrego Garcia, put him on a plane and shipped him to a notorious Salvadoran megaprison without due process, or substantial proof that he had done anything to deserve such treatment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">She gave the administration until the end of Monday to return him to the United States.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Early Saturday morning, the Justice Department asked the federal appeals court that sits over Judge Xinis to pause her order to bring Mr. Abrego Garcia back, saying that was neither \u201cpossible nor proper.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThat order is indefensible,\u201d department lawyers wrote. \u201cForemost, it commands defendants to do something they have no independent authority to do: make El Salvador release Abrego Garcia, and send him to America.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In previous court filings, the Justice Department accused Mr. Abrego Garcia, 29, of belonging to MS-13, a transnational gang with roots in El Salvador. But officials have offered only limited evidence to support their claims, and Mr. Abrego Garcia has denied them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">During the hearing on Friday, Judge Xinis expressed skepticism about a connection between Mr. Abrego Garcia and MS-13, noting that there was little proof that he belonged to the gang.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIn a court of law, when someone is accused of membership in such a violent and predatory organization, it comes in the form of an indictment, complaint, criminal proceeding \u2014 a robust process, so we can address the facts,\u201d Judge Xinis said. \u201cI haven\u2019t yet heard that from the government.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The letter to Mr. Reuveni did not make clear how long he would be placed on leave, or whether he would face disciplinary action.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Reuveni, unlike other career prosecutors targeted by Mr. Blanche and his deputy, Emil Bove, previously earned praise for executing elements of Mr. Trump\u2019s immigration agenda.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In a March 21 email announcing Mr. Reuveni\u2019s promotion to acting deputy director of the department\u2019s Office of Immigration Litigation, his boss, Drew C. Ensign, lauded him for working on cases filed against sanctuary cities accused of defying federal immigration laws, and for generally helping to expand the department\u2019s litigation activities.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cI want to thank those who submitted interest for the acting positions \u2014 we had outstanding choices, which helps go to show the excellent caliber of our team,\u201d Mr. Ensign wrote.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Ensign has been handling a separate immigration case, one in which he has been defending the Trump administration\u2019s use of a rarely invoked wartime law, the Alien Enemies Act, to summarily deport scores of Venezuelan migrants accused of belonging to the street gang Tren de Aragua.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-798hid etfikam0\">Alan Feuer<!-- --> contributed reporting.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/04\/05\/us\/politics\/justice-dept-immigration-lawyer-leave.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A senior Justice Department immigration lawyer was put on indefinite leave Saturday after questioning the Trump administration\u2019s decision to deport<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":17690,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[5450,3840,2706,163,117,5451,2707,3841,111],"class_list":["post-17689","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-us","tag-abrego-garcia","tag-blanche","tag-bondi","tag-deportation","tag-justice-department","tag-kilmar-armando","tag-pamela-j","tag-todd-attorney","tag-united-states-politics-and-government"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Justice Dept.
