The media has been all aghast at the “innocent man” from Maryland who was deported back to El Salvador. And now they have more to chew on given that the DOJ has suspended the attorney in the case.

A senior Justice Department immigration lawyer was put on indefinite leave Saturday after questioning the Trump administration’s decision to deport a Maryland man to El Salvador — one day after representing the government in court.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche suspended Erez Reuveni, the acting deputy director of the department’s immigration litigation division, for failing to “follow a directive from your superiors,” according to a letter sent to Mr. Reuveni and obtained by The New York Times.

Before I get into the weeds on this issue, I must note that it’s super interesting that the NY Times was handed the letter on the same day. I have to presume that it was either Reuveni himself or someone else at the DOJ who wants to undermine the Administration.
