The Justice Department has placed on indefinite paid leave the attorney who argued on behalf of the government on Friday in a lawsuit brought by a Maryland man who was deported to El Salvador in error, sources familiar with the matter told ABC News.

Sources said Erez Reuveni, the acting deputy director for the Office of Immigration Litigation, was told by officials at the DOJ that he was being placed on leave over a "failure to zealously advocate" for the government's interests.

"At my direction, every Department of Justice attorney is required to zealously advocate on behalf of the United States," Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a statement on Saturday. "Any attorney who fails to abide by this direction will face consequences."

This one is really resonating. Was talking to a grammar school friend who is pro Israel and virulently anti-Trump. Ignoring my “I love you anyway”, she tried to convince me that Trump was a deleted and her argument was this case. I said she’s reading only liberal sources and she immediately shut down the discussion. The idea that a potentially innocent man could be sent to the El Salvador prison hits really hard among those who read only within their comfort zone. The facts of the case need to be more widely distributed in a way that it can’t be blocked and reinterpreted by the left.

Here she is.

Lesley Frieder Wolf is an experienced first-chair trial and appellate attorney who focuses on complicated litigation matters and complex fraud cases. She returned to Ballard Spahr from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Delaware, where she had served as Chief of the Economic Crimes Section. In that role, she supervised cases involving bank fraud, securities fraud, tax evasion, wire fraud, money laundering, and public corruption and handled investigations involving complex corporate and financial fraud.

She is also providing immigration assistance services for people from Uganda, according to her employer's web page of her.
