A federal judge has issued an order compelling several officials who served under the Trump administration to actively seek the return of a Guatemalan man to the United States.

The man, whose identity has not been fully disclosed in public documents, is the subject of ongoing legal proceedings and is believed to be a key witness or involved in a case concerning actions taken during the previous administration.

The judge’s order specifically targets individuals who held positions of authority within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Department of Justice (DOJ) during the Trump presidency.

The court’s directive requires these former officials to take all necessary steps to locate the Guatemalan man and arrange for his transportation back to the U.S., including coordinating with Guatemalan authorities.

The specifics of the legal case involving the man remain largely sealed, though reports suggest it may relate to immigration policies or other matters of national security.

The judge’s decision underscores the ongoing scrutiny of the Trump administration’s actions and the legal challenges they continue to face.

The former officials named in the order have not yet publicly commented on the judge’s ruling.

Legal experts suggest that failure to comply with the court order could result in further legal action against the former officials.

The Guatemalan government’s stance on the matter is currently unknown, but its cooperation is crucial for the successful implementation of the judge’s order.
