A federal judge ordered the Trump administration late Friday night to facilitate the return of a Guatemalan man it deported to Mexico, in spite
of his fears of being harmed there, and who has since been returned to Guatemala.
The man, who is gay, had applied for asylum in the US last year after he
was attacked twice in homophobic acts of violence in Guatemala. He was protected from being returned to his home country under a US immigration judge’s order at the time, but the Trump administration put him on a bus
and sent him to Mexico instead.
The US district judge Brian Murphy found the man’s deportation likely
“lacked any semblance of due process”. In a declaration to the court, the
man, identified by his initials OCG in legal filings, said that since he
was returned to Guatemala two months ago, “I have been living in hiding,
in constant panic and constant fear”.
An earlier court proceeding determined that OCG risked persecution or
torture if returned to Guatemala, but he also feared returning to Mexico.
He presented evidence of being raped and held for ransom there while
seeking asylum in the US.

Don't be gay if you know what's good for you.
