Overview
The Trump administration has filed an emergency petition with the U.S. Supreme Court to lift restrictions on deporting migrants to third countries. Concurrently, it is working to return a Guatemalan man, O.C.G., who was mistakenly deported to Mexico despite fears for his safety. U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy found that O.C.G.'s deportation lacked due process, as he was sent to Mexico without the opportunity to contest his removal. This case, along with the ongoing situation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, highlights tensions between the executive branch and the judiciary over immigration enforcement and due process rights.
