Trump admin must seek return of another man who was improperly deported to El Salvador, judge rules

[Quiet Em]

The Trump administration must seek to return a second man who was improperly deported from the U.S. to El Salvador in violation of a previous court order, a federal judge ruled Wednesday.

U.S. District Judge Stephanie Gallagher, a Maryland-based Trump appointee, ruled that the administration deported a 20-year-old Venezuelan man last month in violation of a legally binding, court-approved settlement agreement reached in a lawsuit last year. Under that settlement, the U.S. agreed not to deport migrants who arrived as unaccompanied minors until their asylum claims are fully adjudicated.

The Justice Department argued that Trump’s invocation of the Alien Enemies Act superseded the 2024 settlement that protected Cristian from deportation while his asylum claim proceeded.

But Gallagher rejected that argument, ordering the Trump administration “to facilitate Cristian’s return to the United States so that he can receive the process he was entitled to.”

This is a Trump appointed Judge. MAGA's attempts to spin their ridiculous narrative isn't working. It's about due process.
