Court Orders Return of Wrongfully Deported Man | JQJO

A federal appeals court ordered the Trump administration to return Jordin Alexander Melgar-Salmeron to the U.S. after he was mistakenly deported to El Salvador just 30 minutes after a court suspended his removal. This is at least the fourth instance this year where the administration has been compelled to facilitate the return of someone wrongly deported due to "administrative errors." The court gave the administration a week to locate Melgar-Salmeron and outline his return. Previous similar cases involved individuals deported to El Salvador and Mexico despite pending asylum claims or fears of harm.
