U.S. Brings Back Guatemalan Wrongly Deported to Mexico
The Trump administration obeyed the instructions of the judge in the case, a significant departure from the defiant stance it has staked out in other immigration matters.
The Trump administration has brought back to the United States a Guatemalan man who was wrongfully deported to Mexico, albeit to an uncertain future, his lawyers said on Wednesday.
Trina Realmuto, a lawyer for the man, known only by his initials, O.C.G., said that she expected him to remain in federal custody as the administration determined how to handle his case.
Last week, the Justice Department said it would comply with a federal judge’s order to “facilitate” the return of O.C.G., a gay man who was sent to Mexico this year despite having told American authorities that he had experienced violence there and was afraid to go back.
