The Trump administration ordered to undo further illegal deportation – mother Jones

Late last night, A judge from the Federal District Court in Massachusetts ordered the US government to “make it easier” to return a Guatemalenkan man, who was deported to Mexico, although he had presented evidence that he had been kidnapped and raped on the way to the United States last year.

The man, who was known as an OCG in court documents, received an order in his immigration procedure in February and protected him from being deported to Guatemala. He said he fled for violence and persecution for his sexuality. Two days later – according to court documents, he was released from immigration – he was invited to a bus with other men and brought to Mexico from the USA, where the authorities still deported him to Guatemala.

OCG now lives in Guatemala and avoids going out or being seen with the family, as can be seen from an explanation submitted in his complaint. “The people who have already targeted me know who I am and they showed me twice what they are capable of,” he said. “I can't be gay here, which means that I can't be myself. I can't express myself and I am not free.”

District judge Brian E. Murphy, who also decided on Wednesday against the Trump government's attempt not to deport migrants from South Sudan to this country, wrote in his command that OCG would probably be successful that “his removal had no appearance of a proper procedure”, and that the federal government could not legally send him to Mexico without taking any additional steps in the event of immigration. “These necessary steps and OCGS ask for help were ignored,” wrote Murphy. “In general, this case shows no special facts or legal circumstances, only the banal horror of a man who was wrongly loaded into a bus and sent back to a country in which he was supposedly only raped and kidnapped.”

Now it is up to the US authorities to bring back OCG – or to facilitate its return in the language of the court decision. Last month, the Supreme Court also ordered the government to facilitate the return of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, a man from Maryland who was wrongly deported and sent to Cecot, El Salvador's notorious “Terrorism Congrad Center”. But Abrego Garcia remains in custody, and the US government claims that there is no authorization to remove him from El Salvador's custody – even when Trump insists that he could return it with a call.

Murphy seemed to be expected in his order on Friday that the US government would not act in OCG's case in a similar way. In a footnote, he added that the word “relieved” should “wear less luggage in his order than in several other remarkable cases. OCG is not recorded by any foreign government”.

Murphy also beat the government's lawyers because he previously claimed that OCG had said at some point that he was not afraid to be sent to Mexico. Based on this claim, Murphy had stopped returning OCG in an earlier order. But when the government had to present a witness to secure this claim, her lawyers informed the court that it was a “mistake”.

“The accused can apparently not find a witness who supports their claim that OCG has ever said that he was not afraid of being sent to Mexico,” said Murphy in his Friday order. “The court received false information on which it was based twice to the disadvantage of a party that was subject to a risk of serious and irreparable damage.”

When Murphy seems full, it is because he has spent the week to deal with the government's attempts to deport immigrants to third -party countries without giving them the chance to raise objections. In April, the judge provided an injunction in a lawsuit that was initiated by OCG and other immigrants who ordered the United States to give them a “meaningful opportunity”, to express fear of death, torture or persecution before they are sent to a country that is not their own.

“This case asks a simple question,” wrote Murphy in this order: “Before the United States forced to send someone to a different country than their country of origin, this person has to be communicated where to go and give the chance to tell the United States if they are killed if they are sent there?”

On Wednesday, Murphy decided that the Trump government had violated his injunction when she tried to send an aircraft full of immigrants from several countries to South Sudan, as my colleagues Isabela Dias and Noah Lanard reported this week:

The complaint is claimed Murphy's injunction that the form is provided in a “language that the alien can understand”. They refused to sign the message according to court documents.

A lawyer of the Ministry of Justice said during the hearing The men remained in the care of immigration and customs authorities. According to reports, the plane reported in Dschibuti, in East Africa, according to Ice Flight Trackern and the New York Timesinstead of the south sudan. From Wednesday, it was still assumed that the men are in Dschibuti, in which a US military base is located.
