U.S. Justice Department Criticizes Its Own Legal Team in Supreme Court Case

In an unusual move, the U.S. Department of Justice has raised questions about its own counsel’s conduct in a case before the Supreme Court. The case involves a man from Maryland who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador. In a brief submitted to the Court, lawyers for the deported individual highlighted that this might be the first instance where the government has publicly criticized its own legal representatives. This comes despite the district court previously commending the counsel’s honesty. For more details on this case, visit the National Law Journal.
