A federal judge in Boston on Friday ordered the Trump administration to take “all immediate steps” to bring back a Guatemalan man wrongfully deported to Mexico, saying the removal likely “lacked any semblance of due process.”
Identified in court as O.C.G., the man had been kidnapped and raped in Mexico before his removal. He expressed fear of returning, but Department of Homeland Security officials mistakenly told the court he had no such fears—a claim later retracted.
U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy, a Biden appointee, described the case as “the banal horror of a man being wrongfully loaded onto a bus and sent back to a country where he was allegedly just raped and kidnapped.” He also criticized the administration for previously revealing the man’s full name despite a court order to use pseudonyms.
Murphy gave the government five days to update the court on efforts to facilitate the man’s return.
The ruling marks the third such case under Trump’s recent immigration enforcement actions.
