Yeah. I’d be gone for three to five hours playing outside with friends and I’d come home and my mom would say were you out? where have you been? Did you have fun? Nothing more. Expected.

And if he wins every time he sees him on the TV or in social media he’ll think of your comment. It will just pick at him, I hope.

Finally, Mr. Reuveni says that he was ultimately fired because he refused to sign a legal brief making an argument that was directly contrary to law and unsupported by any evidence put forward in the case — that Abrego Garcia's deportation was legal because he was a "terrorist."
5. Mr. Reuveni refused to sign an appeal brief with arguments unsupported by evidence orlaw and was put on administrative leave in retaliation for his protected activity and refusal to obey an illegal order That same afternoon of Friday April 4 , Roth circulated an outline of an appeal brief to multiple attorneys, including Mr. Reuveni. Mr. Reuveni understood that his name would appear on this brief.Mr.Reuveni responded to that email, including Roth and others, with the same points he had told Ensign in their phone call. Additionally, he noted that because the government had not argued that Mr. Abrego Garcia was a member of a terrorist organization to the court in the brief DOJ and agency leadership cleared for filing, it could not do so on appeal for the first time. That evening, Mr. Reuveni received an email with a draft brief that made the same legal arguments to which Mr. Reuveni had consistently objected. Mr. Reuveni responded saying that the draft briefstill contained the arguments discussed earlier that were not supported by law or the record. Then later that night, the appeal brief was again circulated. This time, the same arguments Mr. Reuveni had objected to were moved to a different section of the brief. Mr. Reuveni emailed Flentje and said that he could not sign the brief given the unsupported arguments. Early the morning ofSaturday, April 5, Flentje emailed Mr. Reuveni and asked him to call him. Mr. Reuveni and Flentje had a phone call around 1:20 a.m. in which Mr. Reuveni again repeated the same objections he had made previously. Flentje told Mr. Reuveni that he should sign the brief, and that he had signed up for the responsibility to do so when he accepted the Deputy position. Mr. Reuveni responded, “I didn't sign up to lie. ” Ultimately, someone else signed that brief, making arguments contrary to law, which was filed at 1:41 a.m. on April 5. Less than seven hours later, Mr. Reuveni was placed on administrative leave for alleged "failure to follow a…

Reuveni notes that he repeatedly told DHS throughout the night of March 15 that they had to follow court orders. Even Drew Ensign agreed Judge Boasberg's order required them to turn the planes around.

Emil Bove intervened and ordered DHS to ignore that interpretation.
At 10:13 p.m., after he and Mr. Flentje had exchanged numerous emails and he had no information about any DHS compliance, Mr. Reuveni again emailed DHS to ask about whether guidance had been disseminated with direction for DHS to turn any planes around ifnotyet landed or to not deplane the people on board if already landed. Shortly thereafter, DHS responded via email that they were holding issuance of guidance pending a decision from the Attorney General. 2. Emil Bove advised the Department of Homeland Security that it may take actions that violate the court's injunction because the injunction was not yet issued in writing For the next few hours on the night of March 15 , Mr. Reuveni exchanged emails with Flentje and engaged in multiple phone calls with Ensign. He was concerned about two things: 1) that deplaning any passengers would violate the court's orders, and 2) the need to notify the court of the government's compliance with those orders, or its interpretation of the orders. Sometime around midnight, Ensign informed Mr. Reuveni that DOJ would be filing a notice with the court, signed by Bove, explaining its interpretation ofthe court order, including that no violation ofthe court order had occurred because the two planes left U.S. airspace before the court's written minute order. Ensign directed Mr. Reuveni to prepare Bove's notice of appearance. While Mr. Reuveni disagreed with the interpretation that there was no violation of a court order, the fact that Bove, a senior DOJ official, was willing to enter an appearance in the case and make this representation to the courtsomewhat lessened his concerns because he believed he and his staffwould not be put in the untenable position ofdefending this argument. In an email from Acting Assistant Attorney General (AAG) Yaakov Roth to Ensign, Flentje, and Mr. Reuveni, Roth explained that Bove had advised DHS that under the court order it was permissible to deplane individuals on the flights that departed U.S. airspace before the minute order had issued on the docket. That afternoon, the Department ofJustice filed a Notice indicating that defendants "were promptly notified of the court's temporary restraining order issued in the morning and the 7:26 PM EDT minute order that temporarily enjoined any removals pursuant to the Presidential Proclamation. ” The Notice also asserted that “some gang members subject to removal under the Proclamation had already been removed from United States territory under the Proclamation before the issuance of this court's second [written] order. " ³4 By day's end, multiple media reports and postings from senior government officials in both the United States and El Salvador on social media confirmed that all individuals on two ofthe three planes that had taken offMarch 15 had been detained in the CECOT prison in El Salvador.35 The next hearing in the case occurred on Monday, March 17, 2025. At some point priorto the March 17 hearing, Ensign informed Mr. Reuveni that Ensign would not be handling the hearing given concerns that the court would likely interrogate Ensign concerning the March 15 events.

Reuveni accuses Drew Ensign, the DOJ lawyer appearing for the Trump admin in the CECOT cases and other immigration cases, of lying to Judge Boasberg on March 15 when he said he didn't know planes were taking off.

He says Ensign was at a meeting the day before when the flight were planned!
At this hearing, Judge Boasberg said that “the plaintiffs ... expected planes to be departing within the last couple of hours,” and asked Ensign “if any ofthe named plaintiffs are, in fact, or any plane that has departed?" Ensign assured the court that none of the named plaintiffs would be removed during the pendency ofthe TRO. When Judge Boasberg asked if that meant the plaintiffs “are either not on the planes or that they will not be removed from the planes and will be brought back once the planes land in El Salvador, ” Ensign asserted, “I don't know the status ofthe planes. Ifthere are removal flights, the five would not be on them. ” When Judge Boasberg asked whether any deportations orremovals were imminent, as “in the next 24 or 48 hours,” Ensign answered, “I don't know the answer to that question. "26 Mr. Reuveni reasonably believes Ensign's statement to the court that he did not know whether AEA removals would take place “in the next 24 or 48 hours" was false. Ensign had been present in the previous day's meeting when Emil Bove stated clearly that one or more planes containing individuals subject to the AEA would be taking off over the weekend no matter what.
