Guatemalan Man Returned After Wrongful Deportation

A Guatemalan man identified as O.C.G., who is gay and had previously received a withholding of removal order protecting him from return to Guatemala, was wrongfully deported to Mexico by the Trump administration. Despite credible fears and a history of being raped and kidnapped in Mexico, O.C.G. was expelled without proper legal review or a credible fear assessment. U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy found the deportation violated due process, criticized the administration's actions, and ordered O.C.G.'s return. Upon his arrival in California, O.C.G. was placed in immigration custody and awaits further proceedings. This case marks one of the first times the Trump administration complied with a judicial order to return a deported migrant. The situation highlights ongoing legal disputes over due process and deportations affecting other migrants under the Trump administration.
