On June 24, attorneys for former Department of Justice (DOJ) attorney Erez Reuveni sent Reuveni’s formal whistleblower disclosure to the DOJ Inspector General, the Office of the Special Counsel (OSC) and Ranking Members of the Senate and House Judiciary Committees.
Reuveni, who served as the Acting Deputy Director for the Office of Immigration Litigation (OIL) of the DOJ, alleges that DOJ officials planned “to resist court orders that would impede potentially illegal efforts to deport noncitizens” and that he was fired for resisting to carry out and reporting these alleged violations of the law.
According to the disclosure:
“Mr. Reuveni was involved in three separate cases involving the legality of the Administration’s immigration removal operations under its newly implemented priorities during which time he directly witnessed and reported:
- DOJ officials undermining the rule of law by ignoring court orders;
- DOJ officials presenting “legal” arguments with no basis in law;
- high-ranking DOJ and DHS officials misrepresenting facts presented before courts; and
- DOJ officials directing Mr. Reuveni to misrepresent facts in one of these cases in violation of Mr. Reuveni’s legal and ethical duties as an officer of the court.
Mr. Reuveni’s internal reporting and ultimately his refusal to obey this illegal order directly resulted in his suspension and termination.”
