DOJ suspends attorney after court hearing about man who was mistakenly deported

The Trump administration has placed a Justice Department (DOJ) lawyer on leave for not “zealously advocating” its position in the case involving a Salvadoran man living in Maryland who was mistakenly deported last month. 

Attorney General Pam Bondi’s office placed Erez Reuveni, who argued for the government, in Friday’s hearing in which a judge ruled Maryland father Kilmar Abrego Garcia must be returned to the U.S. by Monday, on indefinite paid leave, Fox News has learned. 

“At my direction, every Department of Justice attorney is required to zealously advocate on behalf of the United States,” Bondi told the New York Times in a statement. “Any attorney who fails to abide by this direction will face consequences.” 

Fox News Digital has reached out to the DOJ for comment. 

JOHN YOO URGES TRUMP ADMIN TO ‘WORK OUT A DEAL’ TO RETURN MISTAKENLY DEPORTED INDIVIDUALS

Reuveni on Friday admitted that Garcia’s deportation was a mistake, according to the New York Times. 

On Saturday, the Trump administration argued in an emergency appeal that U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis can’t force the administration to return Garcia to the U.S. 

Xinis on Friday ruled that the government must make arrangements to have Garcia back in the U.S. before Monday at midnight.

The Saturday emergency appeal seeks to temporarily stay Xinis’ decision until the government has time to properly appeal the ruling. 

“Late Friday afternoon, a federal district judge ordered the United States to force El Salvador to send one of its citizens – a member of MS-13, no less – back to the United States by midnight on Monday. If there was ever a case for an emergency stay pending appeal, this would be it,” the government wrote in the emergency appeal reviewed by Fox News Digital. 

The government also argued that it “does not have control over” Garcia now that he is in El Salvador. 

“Nevertheless, the court’s injunction commands that Defendants accomplish, somehow, Abrego Garcia’s return to the United States in give or take one business day,” the appeal said, calling it “indefensible.”

The filing said that the “lacked the power” to require the government “on the clock, to try to force a foreign country to take a discrete action.”

It added, “Abrego Garcia has been found to be a member of a designated Foreign 3 Terrorist Organization, MS-13. Given that status, he has no legal right or basis to be in the United States at all.” 

VANCE DOUBLES DOWN AFTER TRUMP ADMIN ADMITS ‘ERROR’ SENDING MAN TO SALVADORAN PRISON

Xinis on Friday said that the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s March 15th expulsion of Garcia violated the Administrative Procedures Act, since it occurred without a judicial proceeding.

The Trump administration has acknowledged Garcia’s removal was an “administrative error,” but has also defended it, alleging that Garcia has ties to MS-13.  

“This individual is an illegal criminal who broke our nation’s immigration laws. He is a leader in the brutal MS-13 gang, and he is involved in human trafficking,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a briefing on Tuesday. 

“And now MS-13 is a designated foreign terrorist organization. Foreign terrorists have no legal protections in the United States of America. And this administration is going to continue to deport foreign terrorists and illegal criminals from our nation’s interior,” she added. 

An immigration judge five years ago said Garcia, who came to the U.S. illegally in 2011 and asked for asylum, could not be deported to his home country, over concerns he would become a victim of local El Salvador gang members.

His request for asylum was denied, but he was given protection from deportation and ICE didn’t appeal the decision. 

Garcia’s wife, Jennifer Vasquez Sura, who is a U.S. citizen, has vigorously campaigned for his return. 

Garcia had been working as a sheet metal apprentice in Maryland and was arrested in an IKEA parking lot on March 12 while his 5-year-old son was in the car.

His lawyers have argued the man had a Department of Homeland Security permit to work in the country, and strongly deny any gang affiliations. They also say that the government has given little evidence to back up its claim. 

There was no indication how the government would comply, since he is incarcerated in an El Salvador prison under that government’s custody.

World’s wealthiest televangelist puts luxury US condo on the market for jaw-dropping price

The wealthiest religious broadcaster in the world is looking to offload his luxury condo in Florida. 

The beachfront residence of Brazilian billionaire televangelist Edir Macedo in the ultra-exclusive Porsche Design Tower Miami is now listed for just under $14.6 million after a price cut, according to public real estate records.

Macedo, founder and bishop of the Igreja Universal do Reino de Deus (Universal Church of the Kingdom of God), is no stranger to lavish living or controversy. 

His net worth is estimated at $1.8 billion, ranking him 1,901st on Forbes’ real-time billionaire index. By comparison, Kim Kardashian’s net worth is $1.7 billion.

PALM BEACH, THE WALL STREET OF THE SOUTH, HAS A HOT LUXURY REAL ESTATE MARKET

The Porsche Design Tower, a $560 million architectural marvel completed in 2017, is famous for its car elevators that transport luxury vehicles directly into private condo garages. In 2013, The Real Deal reported that “nearly two dozen of the homes — 22 — under contract will belong to billionaires.”

The tower has a mandatory homeowners association with monthly fees ranging from $4,277 to $12,069.

Macedo’s neighbors over the years have included international celebrities like Lionel Messi, Colombian pop star Maluma, Mexican actress Thalía and Andrea Romanello Ferdinand, daughter of Patrick Romanello, who The New York Time reported was “alleged to be an associate of the Bonanno crime family.”

But the Florida condo might not be the only real estate Macedo’s family holds in the U.S. 

According to a property intelligence database reviewed by watchdog group the Trinity Foundation, another Sunny Isles Beach condo worth $9.6 million is linked to the family. Yet, according to the Trinity Foundation’s research, the Miami-Dade County property appraiser lists only a shell LLC as the owner with no names publicly attached.

The Trinity Foundation, a nonprofit that investigates religious fraud, has long tracked Macedo’s financial activities.

“Macedo’s empire includes media companies, banking interests, and international real estate,” the group noted, citing his control of Brazil’s Record TV network and Banco Renner.

The Universal Church isn’t just active in Brazil. It operates worldwide, including in Portugal, Mexico and the United States. The church even built a modern version of Solomon’s Temple in São Paulo, Brazil. 

Despite its clear wealth and power, the church’s “Contact Us” page on its U.S. website claims “the Universal Church does not provide financial aid programs.”

Their 24/7 livestream available on the Universal Church’s website currently offers “Blessed Water” for sale, which purports to heal everything from depression to cancer.

According to the Trinity Foundation, the organization also owns four private jets and a helicopter, assets rarely seen in the nonprofit religious world.

Macedo’s empire has had legal troubles. In 2008, he and nine of his associates were charged in Brazil with laundering roughly $2 billion. 

As reported by The Associated Press, “The church allegedly used fake companies to launder the money, moving the assets abroad and then returning them in the form of loans used by Macedo and his accomplices to buy businesses, prosecutors said.” 

Brazilian courts ultimately did not convict Macedo or his co-defendants.

More issues surfaced in 2019, when authorities in Angola charged four leaders of Macedo’s church with financial crimes, including money laundering. 

According to Ver Angola, the fallout led to the expulsion of 22 Brazilian church members by Angolan immigration officials.

Common vitamin shown to reduce painful symptoms of autoimmune disease

Previous research has shown that vitamin D deficiency can increase the risk of multiple sclerosis (MS) — and a new study suggests that supplementing it in high doses could help reduce symptoms.

The study included 303 adults in France who had experienced clinically isolated syndrome (CIS) — which is a single, initial period of neurological symptoms that could lead to MS — within the last 90 days.

One group of participants took high doses (100,000 IU) of cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) every two weeks for 24 months.

‘LIQUID GOLD’ COULD BRING NEW HOPE TO MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS PATIENTS, STUDY SUGGESTS: ‘PROFOUND BENEFIT’

Among that group, 60.3% experienced a relapse of symptoms or new or enlarged lesions in MRI scans.

In comparison, 74.1% of those who took a placebo experienced those same effects — which is a “statistically significant difference,” wrote the researchers, who were from CHU Nîmes, Université Montpellier and multiple sclerosis centers in France.

The findings of the double-blind, randomized study were published in the journal JAMA.

NEW BLOOD TEST DIAGNOSES ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE AND MEASURES HOW FAR IT’S PROGRESSED

“Oral cholecalciferol 100, 000 IU every two weeks significantly reduced disease activity in CIS and early relapsing-remitting MS,” the researchers wrote. 

“These results warrant further investigation, including the potential role of pulse high-dose vitamin D as add-on therapy.”

Bruce Bebo, executive vice president of research at the National MS Society in Oregon, was not involved in the research but commented to Fox News Digital on what he described as a “well-designed study.”

“These findings suggest that high-dose vitamin D may be a promising approach for reducing disease activity in the very early stages of MS,” he said.

Previously published studies, however, failed to link vitamin D supplementation with reduced MS disease activity, although they used lower doses, according to Bebo.

“Overall, the evidence suggests that the effects of vitamin D supplementation are likely to be modest, will require high doses and will be most effective when taken early in the course of disease by people who are deficient in vitamin D,” he said.

The American Academy of Neurology currently recommends a range of 300 to 4,000 units per day for an adult, with 4,000 units as the highest recommended dose by most health authorities, Bebo noted.

“It is important to note that the JAMA study used a significantly higher dose (100,000 units per day). While they did not report any adverse events, excessive intake of vitamin D can be toxic,” he cautioned. 

“High doses can cause excess calcium in the blood leading to nausea, vomiting, weakness, frequent urination and, in some cases, kidney damage.

Anyone with MS who is interested in vitamin D supplementation should discuss it with a neurologist or primary health care provider to determine the best approach, he recommended.

Officers charged for allegedly taking bribes, waving in illegal aliens at busiest border entry

Two U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers have been charged with taking bribes to let people enter the country without showing documents at America’s busiest border crossing.

CBP Officers Farlis Almonte and Ricardo Rodriguez worked at the San Ysidro Port of Entry and prosecutors say they let dozens of vehicles carrying illegal immigrants pass through without proper checks in exchange for thousands of dollars.

According to court documents unsealed Thursday, investigators found phone messages between the officers and human smugglers in Mexico. They also found large unexplained cash deposits in the officers’ bank accounts.

In one case caught on surveillance video, a car stopped at a checkpoint with two people inside, but only the driver was officially recorded as entering the U.S., prosecutors said.

When Almonte was arrested, investigators also allegedly seized nearly $70,000 in cash they believe his girlfriend was trying to take to Tijuana. Prosecutors say he may face more charges, including money laundering and trying to hide evidence, according to The San Diego Union-Tribune.

“Any Customs and Border Protection agent who helps smugglers is breaking their oath and putting our national security at risk,” said Acting U.S. Attorney Andrew Haden.

Rodriguez’s lawyer, Michael Hawkins, said the case is still in the early stages and reminded the public that Rodriguez is presumed innocent. “We look forward to working through the current situation,” Hawkins said, calling Rodriguez “hardworking and loyal.”

It’s not yet clear if Almonte has a lawyer. In the past two years, five CBP officers in the San Diego area have faced similar corruption charges.

‘Rocky’ star hits the beach with wife after actor’s years-long health battle

“Rocky” star Dolph Lundgren and wife Emma Krokdal were spotted soaking up the sun in Miami Beach after the actor’s lengthy health battle. 

Lundgren, 67, and Krokdal, 29, were photographed enjoying a day at the beach during a stay at the luxury Faena Hotel. 

The action star, who revealed in November he was cancer-free after nine years of treatment and surgery, showed off his fit physique as he went shirtless in a pair of blue and white swim trunks.

Lundgren sported a black watch and a silver chain. The “Expendables” star wore what appeared to be black kinesiology tape wrapped around his ankles. 

‘ROCKY’ STAR DOLPH LUNDGREN RECALLS SENDING SYLVESTER STALLONE TO A HOSPITAL DURING FILMING

Krokdal put her trim figure on full display in a lavender-colored string bikini. The personal trainer accessorized with a pair of large tortoiseshell sunglasses, a belly button ring, beaded bracelets and gold hoop earrings.

The pair carried white towels as they strolled along the shoreline before lying down to sunbathe. Lundgren was seen rearranging a lounge chair under a red and white umbrella while his wife relaxed in the chair next to him. 

The actor later wore a white polo shirt before the couple walked back to the hotel where they were seen beaming as they caught more rays.

Lundgren and Krokdal, who announced their engagement in June 2020, tied the knot at their villa in Mykonos, Greece, in July 2023. The actor was previously married to jewelry designer Anette Qviberg, from 1994 to 2011. The former couple share daughters Ida, 28, and Greta, 23.

In an Instagram post Lundgren posted Thursday, he shared that the couple had traveled to Miami to attend an event supporting the charitable organization Childhelp. 

“Their mission to prevent child abuse, is a cause very close to my heart and something I’ve experienced personally,” he wrote of the nonprofit in the caption.

“Every 10 seconds there’s a report of child abused in the United States. Appreciate your help,” Lundgren added, sharing a link to Childhelp’s website. 

“Protect our children — our future,” he added, tagging Childhelp’s Instagram account.

Lundgren has previously spoken out about being physically abused by his father while growing up in Sweden. 

The “Creed II” star’s post included a trio of photos taken during their trip. In one image, Lundgren posed in a brown suit with a white dress shirt and white sneakers in the lobby of the Faena.

Krokdal, who was wearing a white floral blouse with a sheer white layered skirt, joined him in another snap. The third photo featured Lundgren on stage as he received an award at Chidhelp’s “Miracles in Miami” fundraiser.

The pair’s trip comes after Lundgren announced he had beaten the odds after being given two years to live at one point during his battle with cancer.

In a November Instagram post shared from his hospital bed, Lundgren announced he was “finally cancer free with gratefulness and excitement for a bright future.”

In the video he posted, Lundgren said, “Here I am at UCLA. I’m about to go in and get rid of that last tumor. Since there are no cancer cells in my body anymore, I guess I’ll be cancer-free, so I’m looking forward to this procedure.”

He explained he was undergoing lung ablation, a minimally invasive procedure that uses heating or cooling mechanisms to destroy tumor tissue, according to the Mayo Clinic.

“It’s been a rough ride and really taught me how to live in the moment and enjoy every moment of life. I mean, it’s the only way to go,” Lundgren said before heading into surgery.

Lundgren was first diagnosed with cancer in 2015, when doctors found a tumor in his kidney. The doctors were able to remove the tumor, and he remained cancer-free for five years.

During an interview on “In Depth With Graham Bensinger,” he revealed doctors found a “few more tumors around the area” in 2020 and removed six additional tumors, but one had grown into the “size of a lemon” in his liver, and doctors were unable to remove it.

“It wasn’t looking good,” he told Fox News Digital in January 2024. “I mean, there was a doctor in London who basically told me you should stop working and spend more time with your family. Then I realized it was serious.”

However, the “Universal Solider” star later learned his doctors were “giving me the wrong treatments because they hadn’t really checked on all the biopsies.” 

“I got a second opinion from a UCLA doctor, and she went back and looked at all the biopsies, and she said, ‘Well, you know, this is a different mutation than what they said,’” Lundgren recalled.

“They hadn’t checked it. They just assumed. As soon as I got the new medication, I started getting better. And that was all [2022].

“And then last year, I removed all those tumors,” Lundgren recalled. “They freeze them out or use radiation. And then, you know, now I’m living a normal life, I would say. Except I gotta go and do a scan every three months. But everything else is kind of back to normal. So, it was scary and magical at the same time.”

Comedian lectures reporters after he’s pressed on Trump, Elon Musk, and boycotts

Comedian Bill Burr became frustrated with reporters after they questioned him about billionaire Elon Musk and attempted to make him weigh in on politics in an exchange last month. 

Pressed by journalist Nicholas Ballasy about the comic’s recent attacks on Musk, Burr got irritated as he arrived at a March 23 Kennedy Center event honoring Conan O’Brien, the longtime late-night host who often had Burr as a guest.

Regarding the remarks, originally made on “The View,” Burr said, “I don’t watch the news.” He added, “I have no idea what’s going on. I watch Instagram. I watch people wipe out on motorcycles. I watch lions and hyenas fight each other…. I don’t think you should be asking a comedian. You’re a journalist.”

COMEDIAN BILL BURR EXPLAINS ‘WHY I HATE LIBERALS’ IN RANT ABOUT TOOTHLESS DEMOCRATS, HOLLYWOOD ‘WHITE CHICKS’

Ballasy continued to press Burr about his political opinions. 

“But comedians are on top of current events,” he said. 

“No. That’s weak,” Burr shot back. “That’s you guys passing the buck. You guys need to have balls again, which you don’t. You guys always go, ‘Should we be thinking this?’ … You guys present stuff like that. You guys used to have balls. You need to get your balls back and it’s not my job. I’m a dancing clown.”

On March 20, he appeared on “The View” and attacked Musk, saying, “I think Elon has got the rockets going because they realize there’s other Earths out there, and they’re going to trash this one. Because they don’t have any concern for it. And they’re going to move onto the next Earth and, you know, everybody’s going to be standing down here in their blue and red ties going, ‘Wait a minute, I was on your side.’ And they’re just going to leave.” 

Burr also shot down questions about Luigi Mangione, who is accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in one of the most highly publicized murder cases in the country. 

BILL BURR TELLS ‘THE VIEW’ ELON MUSK GOING TO ‘TRASH’ THE PLANET

“Tell us about your reaction to Luigi Mangione,” another reporter asked Burr. “I was reading up, you know, that perhaps you’ve been supportive of what he did. What is your take on that?”

“If you were reading up, I don’t think you read up on it, ‘cause I said what I felt about it and I said what a lot of people said,” Burr responded.

“Some people took it that way,” the reporter said. “So could you clarify what you think about it?”

“No. No, I’m not going to just have some controversial moment so you can get clicks,” Burr said. “I’m not doing that. I mean, I’m here for Conan. I’m not doing all of this. What are you going to bring up next, the Middle East? I went to summer school three out of four years in high school. I’m not qualified to talk about this.”

Regarding Mangione, Burr spoke to Variety magazine in January and expressed some amusement at the suspected murderer putting pressure on healthcare CEOs. 

“The funny thing when that CEO got whacked was watching CEOs have to be uncomfortable,” Burr said. “I’m sure they didn’t learn anything, but it’s like: This is how you make everybody feel day to day as you apply pressure because ‘that’s how business is done.’ How you leave this burning wreckage of destroyed lives as you ‘restructure’ and ‘consolidate.’ It was fun to see them worry.”

Music icon distressed after infection leaves him unable to read, enjoy simple pleasures

Elton John shared an emotional health update months after he revealed that he had suffered partial vision loss due to a “severe” eye infection.

During an interview with the Times of London, the 78-year-old music icon spoke out candidly about the pain of losing his eyesight and how it has impacted his life. 

 “”I can’t read. I can’t see my boys playing rugby and soccer, and it has been a very stressful time because I’m used to soaking it all up,” the father of two said. “It’s distressing.”

John and his husband, David Furnish, who married in 2014, share sons Zachary, 14, and Elijah, 12. The pair welcomed Zachary, who was born via surrogate in December 2010. In January 2013, John and Furnish became parents to Elijah, who was born via the same surrogate.

ELTON JOHN LEFT WITH ‘LIMITED VISION’ FOLLOWING HEALTH SCARE

While speaking with the Times, the U.K. native shared that he “can’t see the telly,” adding that he has not “been able to see anything since last July.”

“You get emotional, but you have to get used to it because I’m lucky to have the life I have,” John said. 

“I still have my wonderful family, and I can still see something out of here,” he continued, pointing to his left eye.

“So you say to yourself, just get on with it.”

The “Rocket Man” hitmaker first revealed his health struggles in September.

“Over the summer, I’ve been dealing with a severe eye infection that has unfortunately left me with only limited vision in one eye,” he shared on social media. “I am healing, but it’s an extremely slow process and it will take some time before sight returns to the impacted eye.”

The singer added: “I have been quietly spending the summer recuperating at home, and am feeling positive about the progress I have made in my healing and recovery thus far.”

During a November interview with “Good Morning America.” John revealed that he contracted the infection over the summer in the South of France.

“It’s been four months now since I haven’t been able to see, and my left eye is not the greatest,” he said.

“There’s hope and encouragement that it’ll be OK, but I’m kind of stuck at the moment because I can do something like this, but going into the studio and recording, I don’t know,” John explained, revealing he can’t read lyrics.

“It kind of floored me,” he later added. “I can’t see anything. I can’t read anything, I can’t watch anything.”

On Friday, John released his new album with Brandi Carlile, titled “Who Believes in Angels?”

The “Hold Me Closer” singer and Carlile collaborated on the album with record producer Andrew Watt and John’s longtime lyricist Bernie Taupin. The quartet recorded “Who Believes in Angels?” over just 20 days between mid-October and early November 2023.

In the documentary “Elton John: Never Too Late,” which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival last September, the singer discussed the concerns that Zachary and Elijah have about his “mortality.”

“They think about my mortality. They worry about my mortality,” he expressed in the documentary. “Not so much David, but me,” he added.

The five-time Grammy Award winner said he shares a close bond with his two sons and that they “love their daddy” and want nothing more than for him “to be around forever.”

John’s children are not the only ones who worry about him being around for the monumental moments of their lives. The singer said he “would love to be around forever,” but he is aware that won’t be the case.

“I want to see them have children and get married. I don’t think I’m going to be around for that. Who knows? You never know. So that’s why I want to use the best time – the best of my time – while I’m around,” he added. “Time together is so wonderful and so precious.”

Track meet stabbing suspect’s lawyer reportedly has request for court as client is locked up

The lawyer for Karmelo Anthony, a Texas high school student accused of stabbing fellow 17-year-old student-athlete Austin Metcalf to death during a confrontation at a track meet Wednesday, plans to ask for his $1 million bond to be lowered, according to a report.

“I know that my client said it was self-defense. I don’t have any reason to disbelieve that, but I need to develop facts, talk to people and figure out what’s going on before I make any statements about what I think happened,” attorney Deric Walpole, who was hired by Anthony’s family Friday, told KXAS-TV. “I don’t have any reason to think it wasn’t self-defense at this time.”

He told the news station he had requested a hearing next week to have Anthony’s bond lowered. Anthony remains in custody at the Collins County Jail. 

Fox News Digital has reached out to Walpole. 

TEXAS TRACK MEET STABBING SUSPECT TOLD RESPONDING OFFICER HE ‘DID IT’: DOCS

Anthony, a student-athlete from Frisco Centennial High School in Texas, was charged with murder after he allegedly stabbed Metcalf, 17, a junior at Memorial High School in Frisco, to death Wednesday morning over a seating dispute.

A school resource officer was the first to arrive and confront Anthony, according to an arrest report obtained by FOX 4.

“I gave the suspect instructions to keep his hands up in the air. During this time, the suspect said verbally out loud, ‘I was protecting myself,’” the report from the responding resource officer states.

The suspect also allegedly told the officer that Metcalf “put his hands on” him.

When the officer told others that he had the alleged stabbing suspect in custody, Anthony apparently said, “I’m not alleged. I did it,” according to the arrest report obtained by FOX 4.

“He put his hands on me. I told him not to,” Anthony allegedly said as authorities walked the teenager to a police vehicle.

Anthony also asked the officers if Metcalf was “going to be OK” and if what happened could be considered “self-defense,” FOX 4 reported, citing the police document.

Metcalf’s twin brother, Hunter, who spoke on “The Will Cain Show” Wednesday alongside his grieving mother, Meghan, recalled the moment he saw his brother with a wound to his chest after the altercation with Anthony.

“I whipped my head around, and then, all of a sudden, I see him running down the bleachers just grabbing his chest. … I put my hand on there, tried to make [the bleeding] stop, and I grabbed his head and I looked in his eyes. I just saw his soul leave, and it took my soul, too,” Hunter said.

The stabbing apparently happened after Metcalf asked Anthony to move from under a tent for Memorial High School, and Anthony responded, “Touch me and see what happens,” according to a witness.

Metcalf “grabbed” him, and Anthony pulled out a knife and stabbed him, police said.
