The US judge ordered Trump to facilitate the return of the Guatemala deportor

A federal judge ordered the Trump administration on Friday to facilitate the return of a gay Guatemaler, who said he was deported to Mexico, even though he feared that he was persecuted there after officials had recognized a mistake in his case.

The US district judge Brian Murphy in Boston issued the order commands days after the Ministry of Justice informed him that the claim that the man expressly stated that he was not afraid of being sent to Mexico.

The Ministry of Justice said last week that after further investigations, officials could not identify immigration and customs officials who asked the man who asked as “OCG” about fears he had for his security.

Murphy, a representative of Trump's democratic predecessor Joe Biden, described the case as “horror” and said: “While mistakes occur, the events that lead to this decision are worrying.”

The decision marks the latest instance of a judge who is the government of President Donald Trump facilitates the return of a migrant to the efforts of the Republican to make mass deportations in the context of his hard immigration agenda after an error in the case of a single.

In a class action lawsuit, which was submitted by OCG and other migrants, the judge had prevented the administration from quickly deporting people to countries other than their own without hearing concerns about their security.

“In a sense, the proper procedure is a binary – you either get what the constitution requires, or you don't,” wrote Murphy. “It was clear that OCG did not receive what the constitution required.”

The Ministry of Homeland Protection is monitored, and the White House did not react immediately to inquiries about comments.

The government also made a mistake with the Kilmar Abrego Garcia, based in Maryland, which was deported to El Salvador in March in March, even though he protected it from the distance. He stays there, although a judge ordered the administration to make his return easier.

The verdict on Friday comes to the conclusion two days after Murphy in the case of the collective crayfish lice that the Trump government had violated his previous decision by trying to deport a group of migrants to South Sudan.

According to his lawyers, OCG is a gay man who fled Guatemala in 2024 after he was exposed to death threats due to his sexuality. He entered the USA through Mexico in May 2024.

Murphy said, while an immigration judge found in February that OCG had earned protection against Guatemala, the authorities incorrectly put him on a bus in Mexico two days later, where he was recently raped and kidnapped.

Trina Realmuto, a lawyer for OCG at the National Immigration Litigation Alliance, said that his legal team was “enthusiastic” through Murphy's decision and would work to make a return plan easier.

After his arrival in Mexico, OCG had to wait between the months in custody to apply for asylum in Mexico or return to Guatemala. He chose the latter and hid his lawyers say.
