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.

    I lurk in the conservative reddit to see what they say about stuff, and the other side of the aisle also realizes this problem. They’re well aware that any time the presidency flips colors the incumbent can just undo every EO from the previous administration.

    Seems that one thing both sides agree on is that Congress needs to get back to legislating. Now how we do that, I’m not sure, easier said than done.
