US Judge Orders Trump Administration to Return Deported Guatemalan Man

A federal judge in Boston has ordered the Trump administration to facilitate the return of a gay Guatemalan man, identified as "O.C.G.," who was deported to Mexico despite fears of persecution there. The judge, Brian Murphy, criticized the case as a "horror" and highlighted that the administration had acted on erroneous information, falsely claiming the individual had no safety concerns. The case underscores ongoing issues with due process in US immigration enforcement, especially regarding migrants with valid asylum claims. Murphy emphasized that the government failed to provide O.C.G. with the constitutionally required due process. This ruling follows other cases where the administration has improperly deported individuals, raising concerns over human rights and legal procedures in US deportation policies.
