The federal government is working to secure a charter flight to return a man who was removed from the U.S. back to America so he can have proper due process proceedings, the Justice Department said in court documents filed Wednesday.

Last week, U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy ordered the man, only known by the initials O.C.G., to be returned to the United States after he found that necessary due process steps in his removal proceedings were “ignored” by the Trump administration.

O.C.G.'s attorneys argued that he has no criminal history and sought asylum in the United States after multiple violent attacks against him in his native country of Guatemala.

        77 million Americans voted for the monster. This is far from over even with him gone.

        This is the kind of thinking that led to complacency after the 2020 election.

        Trump is not the cause of America’s rot; he’s a symptom. Even if he’s gone, there’s a vast web of right-wing media, wealth, fascists, bigots, racists, and voters who are still willing to blow it all up to give the rich more money.

        Somehow, we have to deal with the anti-intellectual oppositionally-defiant idiocy that is rampaging through 40% of our population before we can start making true progress again.

      No, it’s good that he’s following the law. Unlike those criminals that are trying to manipulate him like Stephen Miller.
