A judge has ordered the Trump administration to facilitate the return of a 20-year-old Venezuelan man deported to El Salvador in violation of a previous court settlement.

A federal judge in Maryland has ordered the Trump administration to facilitate the return of a 20-year-old Venezuelan man deported to El Salvador, whose removal violated a previous court settlement, according to an order issued on Wednesday.

U.S. District Judge Stephanie Gallagher, a Trump appointee, also ordered the government not to remove other individuals covered by the settlement.

The class action case from 2019 was filed on behalf of individuals who entered the U.S. as unaccompanied minors and later sought asylum.

      you start with the most obvious wins, and then use them as precedent to win the other cases faster

      it’s shit, but courts are generally pretty slow… you want it to be as obvious as possible
