WASHINGTON (AP) A federal appeals court in New York on Tuesday ordered the Trump administration to facilitate the return of a man who was deported to El Salvador roughly 30 minutes after the court suspended an order to remove him from the U.S.
The ruling in Jordin Alexander Melgar-Salmeron s case marks at least the fourth time this year that President Donald Trumps administration has been ordered to facilitate the return of somebody mistakenly deported.
The government said a confluence of administrative errors led to Melgar-Salmerons deportation on May 8, according to the decision by a three-judge panel from the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
The panel said administration officials must facilitate his return to the U.S. as soon as possible. The judges gave them a week to identify his current physical location and custodial status and to specify what steps they will take to facilitate his return.
