Trump FIRES His Own Lawyer for Telling the Truth — And It BLEW Up in Court

In a move that has shaken the legal and political world, Donald Trump’s Justice Department just fired one of its own top lawyers—for doing the unthinkable in Trumpworld: telling the truth.

Andre Raveni, a senior litigator in the DOJ’s immigration unit, stood before a federal judge in Maryland last Friday and told the court something the Trump administration didn’t want anyone to hear: that U.S. immigration officials knowingly deported a man who was protected by a federal court order. The man’s name? Armando Abrego Garcia—a Salvadoran asylum seeker under judicial protection since 2019 because his return to El Salvador would likely mean death.

Instead of being rewarded for honesty, Raveni was fired over the weekend by none other than Todd Blanche—Trump’s former criminal defense lawyer turned DOJ enforcer—because he “violated orders” and “prejudiced his client.” His real crime? Telling the truth under oath.

The Deportation That Never Should Have Happened

Armando Abrego Garcia was yanked from the United States, shackled, and shoved onto a plane—without due process, without warning. His wife only discovered his disappearance thanks to a blurry photo of him in chains, taken on the tarmac.

Why the urgency? A quiet $6 million deal with El Salvador to deport 250 individuals suspected (but not proven) to be gang members. Garcia, with no ties to gangs and a clean record, got caught in the sweep. The U.S. government had no legal basis to send him back—yet they did.

And then came Raveni’s damning admission in court: “Although ICE was aware of Garcia’s protection from removal, he was deported due to an administrative error.” A rare, honest sentence in a Trump-era DOJ filing—and apparently, the final nail in Raveni’s career.

The Fallout in Court

Judge Paula Xinis wasn’t having it. On Monday, she ordered the U.S. government to immediately return Abrego Garcia from El Salvador. When DOJ lawyers asked for a delay, she denied the motion—and made it clear just how deep this mess runs.

“The United States and El Salvador have told no one why Garcia was returned to the very country where he faced mortal danger,” Judge Xinis wrote. “There was no legal authority to arrest him. No justification to detain him. No grounds to deport him.”

The court transcript reads like a legal horror show. When asked why Garcia was being held in El Salvador’s infamous supermax prison, SECOT, Raveni responded: “I don’t know… That information has not been given to me.”

He admitted—again and again—that the Trump administration violated federal law. That Garcia had a final, unchallenged order of protection. That ICE had no right to remove him.

And for that, Raveni was shown the door.

A Justice Department in Crisis

This scandal goes deeper than one case. It shows a Department of Justice under Trump where truth is punished, and lawyers are expected to lie to courts or face ruin.

In an Orwellian twist, Raveni was terminated for “prejudicing his client”—as if honesty were a betrayal, and lawbreaking the true path to loyalty.

Behind the scenes, Trump loyalist Steven Miller—architect of the infamous child separation policy—is reportedly pulling the strings. After Judge Xinis ordered Garcia’s return, Miller called her “a Marxist judge” who “thinks she’s the president of El Salvador.”

This isn’t just a legal debacle. It’s a constitutional meltdown. One where federal lawyers are told to break the law—or else.

What’s Next?

Judge Xinis is demanding answers. She’s already blocked the Trump DOJ from hiding behind procedural games and appeals. But Garcia remains trapped in a Salvadoran prison, his fate uncertain.

And the message from Trump’s DOJ is chillingly clear: in this administration, telling the truth is the only unforgivable sin.
