A Justice Department attorney who struggled in court on Friday to explain the Trump administration's deportation of a Maryland man to El Salvador has been placed on administrative leave, a department official said.
At the hearing, the government attorney, Erez Reuveni, expressed frustration over not having information the judge was seeking in the case of the deported man, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, and made clear he had was not getting much help from his superiors.
