The federal government is working to secure a charter flight to return a man who was removed from the U.S. back to America so he can have proper due process proceedings, the Justice Department said in court documents filed Wednesday.

Last week, U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy ordered the man, only known by the initials O.C.G., to be returned to the United States after he found that necessary due process steps in his removal proceedings were “ignored” by the Trump administration.

O.C.G.'s attorneys argued that he has no criminal history and sought asylum in the United States after multiple violent attacks against him in his native country of Guatemala.

    We fought a whole-ass war in the 1860s because half of people are fucking assholes. They didn’t suddenly stop being assholes afterwards.

      And in particular, the union went easy on them specifically because they didn’t want lasting hard feelings.

      So basically trying to please the shitbags never really stopped, it just had a brief couple years of being put on pause.
