Overview

• O. C.G., a gay Guatemalan asylum seeker, was deported to Mexico without a credible fear screening despite a judge’s order barring third-country removals
• U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy determined the deportation likely violated due process and directed the administration to bring him back
• Homeland Security and ICE Air are arranging a government-chartered flight to fly O. C.G. back to the United States
• The administration initially claimed he had agreed to removal but later admitted in court filings that this claim was based on erroneous information
• His case is part of broader litigation challenging the administration’s third-country removal policy and follows similar orders to return other wrongfully deported immigrants
