The Trump administration has signaled it will comply with a federal court order to facilitate the return of a wrongly deported Guatemalan man. The case involves a Guatemalan man identified in court papers as O.C.G., who fled his home country to avoid persecution based on his sexual orientation.
According to MSNBC, an immigration judge had previously barred O.C.G.’s removal to Guatemala. However, immigration agents sent him to Mexico despite his claims that he had been targeted and raped there. The government initially told the court that O.C.G. was asked whether he feared being sent to Mexico and responded no, but later admitted it had no witness to support this claim.
