A federal judge has issued an order compelling officials who served in the Trump administration to assist in the return of a Guatemalan man to the United States.

The man, whose identity has not been publicly released, had been deported during the Trump presidency.

The judge’s order specifically targets individuals who held positions of authority within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and related agencies.

The order mandates these former officials to take all reasonable steps to locate and secure the man’s return to the U.S.

Details regarding the legal basis for the man’s return are currently limited, with the court documents remaining under seal.

The sealed nature of the court documents suggests the case involves sensitive personal information or ongoing investigations.

The reason for the man’s initial deportation, and the reason for the judge’s order, has not been disclosed publicly to protect his privacy.

Legal experts suggest the order is highly unusual, as it requires former government officials to actively participate in a legal process after leaving their posts.

The specifics of the man’s case and the potential implications of his return remain unclear pending further legal proceedings and information.

The court’s ruling highlights the continued legal scrutiny of immigration policies implemented during the Trump administration.
