A wrongly deported Guatemalan man has been returned to the United States, marking the first time the Trump administration has brought back a deportee based on a judge's order.
The man, who was wrongly deported to Mexico, was returned to the U.S. on Wednesday, according to his lawyer.
The return of the man, identified in court filings as O.C.G., is the first instance in which the Trump administration, in the midst of a sweeping immigration crackdown, has brought a deportee back to the U.S. after a judge ordered their return.
Last month, U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy ordered the Trump administration to "take all immediate steps" to return O.C.G. after he was "placed on a bus and sent to Mexico," a country where he said he was previously held for ransom and raped, according to court filings.
