A U.S. federal judge ordered on Friday the return of a gay asylum-seeking man from Guatemala, who was deported first to Mexico and then back to Guatemala, where he was attacked because of his sexuality.
The man, referred to by the initials "OCG" in legal filings, applied for asylum last year after surviving two homophobic attacks in Guatemala. Rather than returning him home at the time, a judge's order initially prevented OCG's deportation. However, according to The Guardian, the Trump administration instead placed him on a bus to Mexico, where he was raped and held for ransom.
