- On Friday, U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy directed the Trump administration to assist in bringing back O.C.G., a gay Guatemalan man who had been mistakenly deported to Mexico despite his concerns about facing persecution there.
- The order came after the Justice Department admitted that its assertion—that O.C.G. Had indicated no fear of being sent to Mexico—was founded on incorrect information, revealing errors in his case.

- This ruling adds to a series of decisions blocking mass deportations under Trump’s hard-line immigration agenda, requiring the Department of Homeland Security to ensure migrants can meaningfully voice safety concerns before removal.
