A federal judge has ordered former Trump administration officials to take steps to assist in the return of a Guatemalan man to the United States.
The man, whose identity has not been widely disclosed in the reporting, was reportedly deported from the U.S. during the Trump presidency.
The judge’s ruling stems from a lawsuit filed on behalf of the man, challenging the legality of his deportation.
The lawsuit alleges that the deportation process was flawed, and that the man’s due process rights were violated.
The order specifically directs former officials, including those in the Department of Homeland Security, to use their influence and contacts to facilitate the man’s return.
The judge has not specified a timeline or method for the repatriation, but the order is considered legally binding.
Legal experts suggest that this case highlights potential issues with the Trump administration’s immigration policies and practices.
Details regarding the exact nature of the alleged procedural flaws and the man’s original reason for being in the United States are still emerging.
The case could have implications for other individuals who were deported during the same period, potentially leading to further legal challenges to past immigration decisions.
