US judge orders Trump administration to facilitate return of Guatemalan deportee

BOSTON, May 23 (Reuters) - A federal judge ordered the Trump administration on Friday to facilitate the return of a Guatemalan man who said he was deported to Mexico despite his fears he would be persecuted there, after officials acknowledged making a mistake in his case.

U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy in Boston issued the order days after the Justice Department notified him that its claim that the man had expressly stated he was not afraid of being sent to Mexico was based on erroneous information.
