A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to allow a gay Guatemalan man, OCG, to return to the U.S. after he was deported to Mexico, despite claiming he feared persecution there. US District Judge Brian Murphy found that the Justice Department had made errors regarding OCG's safety concerns. This case reflects ongoing judicial pushback against the Trump administration's immigration policies, emphasizing the necessity of due process for deportees. Murphy criticized the handling of OCG's deportation and reiterated the importance of legal protections under the Constitution.
The ruling highlights the need for due process in immigration cases, emphasizing that migrants must have their safety concerns addressed before deportation.
Judge Murphy referred to the case as a 'horror,' indicating the serious implications of the mistakes made in the deportation process.
The Justice Department acknowledged that its earlier claim about OCG not fearing deportation to Mexico was based on erroneous information.
Murphy asserted that due process is fundamental, stating, 'one either receives what the Constitution requires, or one does not.'
