Erez Reuveni served as a lawyer for the Department of Justice and defended immigration policies during the Trump Administration, including the travel ban from Muslim countries. He argued that past statements by Trump should not interfere with his authority. Reuveni supported the deportation of undocumented immigrants and the elimination of asylum protections for domestic violence victims. After nearly fifteen years at the Justice Department, he was terminated for failing to advocate strongly in a deportation case, specifically admitting an error in court and resisting baseless arguments.
