President Donald Trump picked a rock star when he chose Pam Bondi to be his U.S. Attorney General.

According to Breitbart, Bondi, presumably with Trump's blessing, suspended a Department of Justice prosecutor "over his handling of a controversial deportation case of a Salvadoran national with reported ties to MS-13."

The person in question was reportedly mistakenly deported despite legal protections from being deported to El Salvador.

The DOJ prosecutor's supervisor was also suspended for her role in the situation.

What happened?

According to reports, Justice Department prosecutor Erez Reuveni did not "zealously advocate" for the government’s position in the case, which ultimately led to his suspension.

“Our only arguments are jurisdictional… He should not have been sent to El Salvador," the prosecutor reportedly said regarding his role in the case. August Flentje, Reuveni's supervisor, was also suspended.

AG Bondi released a statement regarding the suspensions, noting that she expects every prosecutor to "zealously" advocate on behalf of the United States, especially in high-profile cases.

"At my direction, every Department of Justice attorney is required to zealously advocate on behalf of the United States. Any attorney who fails to abide by this direction will face consequences," Bondi's statement read.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia was the man reportedly mistakenly sent to El Salvador. He was a resident of Maryland.

Breitbart noted:

"On March 15, although ICE was aware of his protection from removal to El Salvador, Abrego Garcia was removed to El Salvador because of an administrative error,” a recent filing read. According to reports, a judge ordered that Garcia be returned, but the Trump administration filed an emergency stay.

Emergency appeal

The government filed an emergency appeal regarding the situation, which garnered plenty of media attention from both sides.

"Late Friday afternoon, a federal district judge ordered the United States to force El Salvador to send one of its citizens – a member of MS-13, no less – back to the United States by midnight on Monday," the U.S. government's appeal read.

"If there was ever a case for an emergency stay pending appeal, this would be it," the appeal stated, with the government adding that the man was a known member of MS-13.

"Given that status, he has no legal right or basis to be in the United States at all," the appeal continued.
