A gay Guatemalan man, O.C.G., is appealing to a federal court after being deported to Mexico by the Trump administration. Despite having legal protections in place, O.C.G. experiences constant fear for his safety in hiding, having faced past violence against his identity. The government claims they had no records of his fears regarding deportation, prompting legal actions suggesting improper coercion and misrepresentation regarding his case. His attorneys argue that the lack of a hearing and appropriate process has endangered his life, as O.C.G. was previously targeted for violence due to his identity.
"... I live in fear because of the past hateful incidences I experienced..."
"Defendants cannot identify any officer who asked O.C.G. whether he had a fear of return to Mexico..."
