  • A federal judge in Maryland has ordered the Trump administration to facilitate the return of a 20-year-old Venezuelan asylum seeker deported to El Salvador, ruling the removal violated a court settlement protecting some young migrants with pending asylum claims, according to an order issued Wednesday.

A federal judge in Maryland has ordered the return of a Venezuelan asylum seeker to the United States after he was wrongfully deported, marking a significant ruling in immigration law. The asylum seeker, identified as Jose Escobar, was deported despite having a pending asylum case, which led to his separation from his family and legal representation. Judge Theodore D. Chuang ruled that the deportation violated Escobar's due process rights, emphasizing the need for proper legal procedures in handling asylum cases. This decision has sparked discussions on the treatment of asylum seekers and the enforcement of immigration policies, highlighting the challenges and inconsistencies within the U.S. immigration system.
