Officials admit ‘inadvertent removal’ after court ruled Britania Uriostegui Rios should not be sent to Mexico
The Trump administration is working to return another individual to the United States who was wrongfully deported to their home country in violation of a court order.
Officials acknowledged in a court filing last week that Britania Uriostegui Rios, a transgender woman, was “inadvertently” deported to Mexico in violation of a March court order which ruled that she was likely to face torture if she returned there.
The administration is working to bring Uriostegui Rios back to the US from Tijuana while it looks for an alternative country to deport her to. Uriostegui Rios is also suing to force the administration to release her from custody when she returns to the US.
So because some guy you knew had it bad, everyone should have it bad? That’s no different than the MAGA argument that since their parents had to pay for college, nobody should get student loan forgiveness. It lacks empathy, compassion, and completely ignores the fact that the entire immigration system is horribly unjust. You’re basically saying we shouldn’t do better for current generations because people that came before had it tougher.
