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.

    What about Kilmar Abrego Garcia?
    He’s a legal US citizen resident and he’s still sitting in CECOT.

    Edit: resident not citizen

      He’s not a US citizen, but he had a court order not to deport from during the previous Trump administration.
