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.
Change the filibuster to be number of majority seats, plus 2, or 60, whichever is less. Or something along those lines. The 60 vote threshold creates disincentive for crossing the aisle because it gives the statistical extremists the most power. Meanwhile, requiring some opposition support but not an outrageous amount removes a ton of barriers which produce legislative gridlock.
