A federal judge ruled that the Trump administration must facilitate the return of a Guatemalan man deported to Mexico despite evident dangers he would face. The man, OCG, had previously sought asylum in the US after suffering homophobic violence in Guatemala and had been ordered by a US immigration judge not to be returned there. Judge Brian Murphy criticized the lack of due process in OCG's deportation, emphasizing the systemic failings within immigration policy that risk the safety of vulnerable individuals, particularly LGBTQ+ asylum seekers.
The Trump administration was ordered to return a Guatemalan man, with a history of homophobic violence, who was wrongfully deported to Mexico instead of being granted asylum.
OCG's situation demonstrates a broader issue of due process and safety for asylum seekers, highlighting systemic failures in immigration policy that prioritize bureaucratic expedience over human rights.
Judge Murphy asserted that OCG's deportation lacked due process, noting he poses no security threat, yet faced extreme danger back in both Guatemala and Mexico.
This case underscores the ongoing issues surrounding the Trump administration’s deportation policies, which have increasingly faced scrutiny and legal challenges by federal courts.
