Judge Orders O.C.G. Return

A federal judge, Brian Murphy, ordered the Trump administration to facilitate the return of a Guatemalan man, identified as O.C.G., who was deported to Mexico despite a U.S. immigration judge's order protecting him from return to Guatemala. O.C.G. was subsequently returned to Guatemala by Mexico and is now in hiding, fearing persecution. Brian Murphy found the deportation likely 'lacked any semblance of due process.' This ruling adds to a series of federal court findings against Trump administration deportations, including the case of Deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, whose return from El Salvador was ordered by the United States — Supreme Court of the United States. Tricia McLaughlin of the United States — United States Department of Homeland Security defended the administration's actions and criticized Brian Murphy.
