**Judge Condemns Trump Administration’s “Horror” Deportation of Gay Guatemalan Man to Mexico**

**Atlanta, GA** – A federal judge late Friday condemned the Trump administration’s deportation of a gay Guatemalan man to Mexico, a country where he feared further harm, calling the action a violation of due process. U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy ordered the government to facilitate the man’s return to the U.S., although the man has already been returned to Guatemala.

The man, identified as OCG, had sought asylum in the U.S. after suffering homophobic attacks in Guatemala. Despite a U.S. immigration judge’s order protecting him from being returned to his home country, the Trump administration deported him to Mexico. OCG had presented evidence of being raped and held for ransom while previously in Mexico seeking asylum.

Judge Murphy wrote that the deportation “lacked any semblance of due process,” and highlighted the “banal horror of a man being wrongfully loaded onto a bus and sent back to a country where he was allegedly just raped and kidnapped.” He also noted that OCG poses no security threat.

OCG said that since being returned to Guatemala, “I have been living in hiding, in constant panic and constant fear.”

This ruling adds to a series of court findings against Trump-era deportation practices. Last week, Judge Murphy found the administration violated an order preventing deportations to countries not of the individuals’ origin without sufficient notice. That case involved seven immigrants deported to a third country with only 24 hours’ notice.

The ruling comes amid ongoing legal battles over similar deportations, including the case of Kilmar Ábrego García, deported to El Salvador.

**Key Points:**

* Federal Judge Brian Murphy slams the Trump administration’s deportation of OCG to Mexico as lacking due process.
* OCG is a gay Guatemalan man who sought asylum in the US due to homophobic violence.
* He was deported to Mexico despite fears of harm and a judge’s order against returning him to Guatemala.
* The judge orders the government to facilitate OCG’s return to the U.S., though he is already back in Guatemala.
* This ruling joins other cases highlighting problematic Trump-era deportation practices.
