Immigration: ICE targeting legal immigrants
2nd Judge Ordered Illegally Deported Man Returned
SECOND JUDGE IN SECOND CASE ORDERS ADMINISTRATION TO BRING A SECOND ILLEGALLY DEPORTED MAN BACK FROM EL SALVADOR

A Federal judge in a case that is *not* the Abrego Garcia case has ordered the administration to bring back a 20-year-old man (alias for the case is "Cristian") who was deported to El Salvador in direct violation of a Court-endorsed settlement that had been reached 5 years earlier.

In 2019 Cristian was determined to be an unaccompanied alien minor; in a class action lawsuit the Court entered a settlement by which the minor immigrants would NOT BE DEPORTED, but instead would get to remain in the U.S. and apply for asylum when they each turned 18.

When he turned 18 he filed a claim for asylum. He was part of that class action settlement which, again, included that the class (including Cristian) would NOT be deported while their asylum applications were pending, and not until (if at all) their asylum claim had been *fully processed*.

Cristian is now 20, and his asylum claim still has not been processed. Instead, they deported him to El Salvador in direct violation of the Court order (settlement).

Yesterday Judge Gallagher ordered the administration to bring him back, and, having clearly paid attention to the Abrego Garcia case and the Supreme Court order, she made clear what "facilitate" means (see screenshot).
