A U.S. Immigration Judge’s Order Enforcing the Return of a Guatemalan Man Deported to Mexico in Light of Murphy’s Decree
Murphy’s order adds to a string of findings by federal courts against recent Trump administration deportations. Those have included other deportations to third countries and the erroneous deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an El Salvadoran who had lived in Maryland for roughly 14 years working and raising a family.
She said that O.C.G., who was in the country illegally, was allowed to remain in Mexico pending his asylum claim, and that he was a safe third option for him.
A federal judge ordered the Trump administration late Friday to facilitate the return of a Guatemalan man it deported to Mexico in spite of his fears of being harmed there.
He wrote that the court notes that ‘facilitate’ should have less baggage than other notable cases. “O.C.G. is not held by any foreign government. Defendants have declined to make any argument that facilitating his return would be costly, burdensome, or otherwise impede the government’s objectives.”
A U.S. immigration judge protected a gay man from being deported to his home country. The removal that the judge found likely lacked any due process was when the US put him on a bus and shipped him to Mexico.
“No one has ever suggested that O.C.G. poses any sort of security threat,” Murphy wrote. The case presents a banal horror of a man being wrongly loaded onto a bus and deported back to a country where he may or may not have been raped.
In his Friday ruling, Murphy said that it is not that complicated to return O.C.G. to the U.S.
