US WHISTLEBLOWER accuses Trump officials of having deliberately ignored judicial orders | Donald Trump News

A former lawyer for the United States Department of Justice (DoJ) has published a denouncing complaint accusing officials of having intentionally ignored the judicial orders that could hamper the campaign of US President Donald Trump for mass expulsion.

Tuesday, representatives of Erez Reuveni filed a 35 -page complaint detailing the lawyer’s allegations against the Trump administration.

It offers an overview of the debates and divisions that take place behind the scenes of the Ministry of Justice, because it defends Trump’s efforts to stop and quickly expel non-citizens, a process that stimulated concerns concerning rights violations.

Members of the Trump administration “exercised illegal activities, abused by their authority (and) has created a substantial and specific threat to health and security,” according to the letter.

Consequently, he said, “Mr. Rebeni exercises his rights … to report reprehensible acts ”.

The letter was sent to the members of the Congress, as well as to the Inspector General of the Ministry of Justice, which investigates the allegations of misconduct within the office. Reundi was finally dismissed in April.

Emil Bove, who was formerly a personal lawyer for Trump. Mouth helped to defend Trump against criminal charges last year in New York, where he was found guilty 34 Account falsification of commercial documents.

Trump has since named Bove to be part of his administration during his second term as president. During the first three months of Trump’s mandate, Bove was an acting prosecutor at the Ministry of Justice. And this week, he faces a Senate confirmation audience for his appointment to join the United States Court of Appeal as a judge.

Meticulous examination on expulsion flights

An incident would have taken place on March 14, when Trump weighed if he had to use a law in wartime – the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 – pave the way for accelerated moving from the country.

According to Reuvenni’s account, Bove told lawyers for the Ministry of Justice that Trump would soon sign an order to invoke the law, which had only been used three times in American history, all during periods of war.

Bove added that planes would take off imminently, expeling individuals under the authority of the law.

But as Rebeni recalled it, Bove anticipated the decline in the courts. He said that Bove “underlined to all the participants that planes should take off whatever happens” and that the Ministry of Justice “should consider saying in the courts” F *** You “”.

The play is silent, according to Reveni, who observed “clumsy and nervous looks” among his colleagues.

“Mr. Reundi was amazed by the Bove declaration because, to the knowledge of Mr. Reuveni, no one in the leaders of the DoJ – in any administration – had never suggested that the Ministry of Justice could not ignore the judicial orders, in particular with an” F *** “,” said the complaint.

He added that the Ministry of Justice generally advises its government customers to follow judicial orders, not to ignore them.

The next day, on March 15, the use by the government of the Act respecting extraterrestrial enemies was challenged before an American district court in Washington, DC, led by judge James Boasberg.

Questioned by Boasberg, a high -ranking lawyer from the Ministry of Justice has denied knowing whether expulsion flights have downside. In his complaint, Rebeni said that this declaration was false.

Later in the day, Boasberg issued an injunction of the court which prohibited any move under the law on extraterrestrial enemies and demanded any American plane carrying out such deportations to return to the country.

REVOUVENI said he had sent an e-mail to the Ministry of Internal Security and to the State Department several times in the hours afterwards to ensure that they compared to the order of BOASBERG. But he said he had received no response.

The flights finally landed in salvadorWhere hundreds of expelled immigrants have been sent to a prison called the Center for Terrorism Confainment or Cecot.

“M. Reuvenni provided that the government would be held In the Court at the Court For having deplored those who are on theft, ”says the complaint.

Boasberg has since indicated that he had found a likely cause of outrage from the Trump administration, although a court of appeal temporarily interrupted procedures on the issue.

Inside the Abrego Garcia case

In a second detailed case in the complaint, Rebeni said that he had tried to alert the Trump administration that he could be in violation of another tribunal injunction – only to be “said to stop asking questions”.

In addition, Rebeni allegedly alleged that he had received advice to “communicate by phone only as much as possible”, probably to avoid leaving a paper track.

A third episode described in the complaint highlights Rebensi’s participation in the high level case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, A Salvadoran who had a protective prescription allowing him to stay in the United States.

Abrego Garcia was nevertheless expelled on March 15, in what officials admitted to be an “administrative error”.

The Trump administration nevertheless defended its actions by accusing Abrego Garcia of a gang membership, MS-13.

Despite an order from the court, confirmed by the Supreme Court, to “facilitate” the return of Abrego Garcia, the Trump administration left it in police custody for more than two months. It’s only June 6 Return it to the United Stateson the premise that he would be confronted criminal charges For human trafficking.

In the complaint, Rebeni said that at the beginning, he thought that the return of Abrego Garcia to the United States would be “simple”.

But then he said that he had been on stone and said to “stop making requests” and “stop asking for facts supporting any possible defense of the case”. He was also discouraged to make “requests” from the government of El Salvador.

Reundi then made the headlines for conceded in court that Greo Garcia should not have been withdrawn from the country. He also said that he had no “satisfactory” answers for the judge’s questions in the case, Paula Xinis.

This incident was seen as a black eye for the Trump administration.

According to the complaint, the boss of Reuveni asked him why he had not accumulated Abrego Garcia to be “a member of a terrorist organization” during the hearing, according to the complaint. Reundi said he replied that the government had not provided evidence or submitted memories to support this argument.

When the Trump administration circulated an appeal on April 4, advancing these arguments, Rebeni would have declared that he could not sign it because allegations “were not supported by law or the file”.

“Mr. Reundi replied:” I did not register to lie “, said the complaint.

Professional fallout

On April 11, Reveni was dismissed from his post with the Ministry of Justice, after almost 15 years of service.

The Attorney General Pam Bondi published a statement at the time accusing him of not having “argued with zeal in the name of the United States”, as provided for in a government lawyer. But the complaints of Rebeni dispute this accusation.

“To discourage customers from engaging in illegal conduct is an important part of the role of the lawyer,” he said. “M. Rebeni tried to do so and was threatened, threatened, dismissed and publicly disparaged for doing his job and telling the truth at the court. “

The complaint notes that Reuvenni had previously received “stellar” assessments for his work on immigration policy, including during Trump’s first term.

However, while the news of the complaint was traveling on the American media, members of the Trump administration sought to develop the allegations of Reuvenni as “a former unhappy employee”.

“I was in the meeting described in the article and at no time, no one suggested that an order of the court should not be followed,” said deputy prosecutor Todd Blanche in a statement on social networks.

He accused the reward and the media like the New York Times, which published a copy of the complaint of Reuvenni, of having tried to sabotage the chances of Bove of being confirmed as a judge of the circuit court.

“It’s disgusting journalism,” he wrote. “Planting a false blow the day before a confirmation hearing is something we expect from the media, but that does not mean that it should be tolerated.”

Democrats, on the other hand, seized the complaint as proof of embezzlement in the Trump administration.

“Emil Bove has no respect for the rule of law and judicial orders. It does not belong to the federal bench, “said Senator Cory Booker written on social networks.

Senator Dick Durbin, on the other hand, published a statement Praising Rebeni to have come as a denunciator. He said the Senate had the obligation to act on the “serious allegations” raised about Bove.

“I would like to thank Mr. Rebeni for exercising his right to express themselves and bring responsibility to Mr. Bove,” wrote Durbin. “And I implore my republican colleagues from the Senate: do not turn my eyes to the disastrous consequences of confirming Mr. Bove in a position for life as a judge of the circuit court.”
