From NY Post: A Guatemalan man who was deported to Mexico despite stating that he feared being persecuted there was flown back to the United States on Wednesday after a judge ordered the Trump administration to facilitate his return.
Judges have directed President Trump’s administration to help return several migrants to the country because they were wrongly deported, and the man’s arrival appeared to mark the first time one of those migrants has been able to come back.
US District Judge Brian Murphy in Boston on May 23 ordered the Guatemalan man’s return after the Justice Department notified him that its claim that the man had expressly stated he was not afraid of being sent to Mexico was based on erroneous information.
“We can now confirm that he is in [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] custody after arriving in California on a commercial flight and is being transported to a detention facility in Arizona,” said Trina Realmuto, a lawyer at the National Immigration Litigation Alliance who represents him.
The lawyers claim that the Guatemalan man, identified O.C.G in court documents, was deported by mistake.
Tricia McLaughlin, a spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security, said the “activist” judge’s ruling gave O.C.G., “an opportunity to prove why he should be granted asylum to a country that he has had no past connection to.”
