Trump DOJ Admits It Used Bogus Info In Key Deportation Case

[berg80]

This Is Effed Up On So Many Levels​

In an important federal case in Massachusetts over whether deportees can be sent to third countries rather than their countries of origin, the Trump administration admitted Friday to a grievous error and managed to compound it in the process.

It’s a bit complicated so let me boil it down to its essentials:

• Background: A gay Guatemalan national who had a U.S. immigration judge order barring his removal to his home country because he feared continued persecution was instead deported to Mexico in February by the Trump administration, partly on the grounds that he had told ICE that he didn’t fear being sent to Mexico. That was odd because the man, identified only by the initials O.C.G., had previously testified that he had been targeted and raped in Mexico, his lawyers say.
• Thursday: The Trump DOJ abruptly cancelled the scheduled deposition of an ICE official “whom Defendants previously identified as giving Plaintiff O.C.G. notice of deportation to Mexico and recording his response of lack of fear,” O.C.G.’s lawyers later told the court.
• Friday: The Trump DOJ filed a “Notice of Errata” admitting that during the judge’s ordered discovery in the case it had been unable to “identify any officer who asked O.C.G. whether he had a fear of return to Mexico.” A key factual element of the Trump administration’s case had evaporated. But it got worse …
• Sunday: Lawyers for the deportee – who is now in hiding in Guatemala because he fears persecution as a gay man – filed an emergency motion pointing out, among other things, that the government’s filing about its own error revealed the deportees name and other information, further jeopardizing his safety despite a court order anonymizing his identifying information.

Still with me? In the course of admitting its error, the Trump administration outed the gay man who it had wrongfully deported in the first place.

This case may ultimately yield the third court order for the Trump administration to “facilitate” the return of a wrongfully deported foreign national.

I don't see anything about the DOJ admitting anything.

Defendants hereby advise the Court of an error in the March 25, 2025, declaration of BrianOrtega. See Declaration of Brian Ortega, ECF No 31-1. The declaration represented, based oninternal database information, that Immigrations and Customs Enforcement, Enforcement andRemoval Operations, (ICE ERO) “verbally asked O.C.G. if he was afraid of being returned toMexico. At this time O.C.G. stated he was not afraid of returning to Mexico.” Id. at ¶¶ 2, 13; Ex.A, Declaration of Brian Ortega at ¶ 5. Defendants have relied on this declaration to makecorresponding statements to the Court. See e.g., ECF No. 31 at 19. 21. Upon further investigation,Defendants cannot identify any officer who asked O.C.G. whether he had a fear of return toMexico. Nor can Defendants identify the officer who O.C.G. states “told [him] that he was beingdeported to Mexico.” Declaration of O.C.G., ECF No. 8-4 at ¶ 9. Accordingly, Defendants submitthe attached declaration correcting Mr. Ortega’s March 25, 2025 declaration. See id. However,Defendants maintain that—pursuant to O.C.G.’s own admission—he received notice of hisremoval to Mexico. ECF No. 8-4 at ¶ 9.

When a Guatemalan man sued the Trump administration in March for deporting him to Mexico despite a fear of persecution, immigration officials had a response: The man told them himself he was not afraid to be sent there.

But in a late Friday court filing, the administration acknowledged that this claim — a key plank of the government’s response to a high-stakes class action lawsuit — was based on erroneous information.

The guy was in the U.S. illegally. Doesn't that mean anything top the left? Is the left really interested in this junk while American women are being raped and murdered by illegal aliens?

 

[Kondor3]

Trump’s immigration policy is motivated by racism, bigotry, and hate.

Fun, ain't it, now that the shoe's on the other foot?

There are more than 20,000,000 Illegal Aliens now on sacred US soil without our express prior consent.

Time for them to go home.

Whatever it takes, short of catapulting them back across the border.

trump broke multiple laws, both state and federal? Was your expectation that he would not be indicted by multiple grand juries?

Let me simplify this for you. The regime lied in its original court filing.

The Trump DOJ filed a “Notice of Errata” admitting that during the judge’s ordered discovery in the case it had been unable to “identify any officer who asked O.C.G. whether he had a fear of return to Mexico.” A key factual element of the Trump administration’s case had evaporated.

 

[berg80]

You drama queens brought this on yourselves.

Could you explain why you think somebody else is at fault for trump's multiple violations of the law regarding deported immigrants?

 

[Kondor3]

trump broke multiple laws, both state and federal? Was your expectation that he would not be indicted by multiple grand juries?

It is my expectation that he will eject the better part of 20,000,000 Illegal Aliens from the United States...

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

This administration, four months in, abounds with criminal acts.

 

[Kondor3]

Could you explain why you think somebody else is at fault for trump's multiple violations of the law regarding deported immigrants?

Time to declare Judicial Overreach and to start ignoring a few of the more egregious of Progressive Judge rulings.

"Mister Marshall has made his decision. Now, let him enforce it." ( apocryphally attributed to President Andrew Jackson )

That, or a temporary state of National Emergency that allows the Administration to continue deporting unimpeded.

Won't happen. Executive overreach will not be permitted.

Looks like a clerical error. Every illegal alien deported brings America closer to being a nation of laws once again. Funny how you folks only side with criminals and invaders and want to shield said criminals in fantasy laws you simply invent at a moments notice. Pathetic.

We'll know soon enough.

Meanwhile... SCOTUS is loosening-up (today's negating of protected status for Venezuelans) so maybe it won't come to that...
