A federal judge ordered the Trump administration return a deported Guatemalan national, claiming the government did not give him a sufficient opportunity to express his concern over being deported to Mexico.

Judge Brian Murphy of the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts ruled Friday that the deported foreigner, labeled as “O.C.G.” in court filings, had received a withholding of removal from
Guatemala, but was deported to Mexico despite expressing fear of returning to Mexico where he claims he was raped and held hostage. Murphy ordered the Trump administration “facilitate” the deported man’s return to the U.S. for due process on his claims of persecution in Guatemala and Mexico.
