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.
Sounds like a way to lose an election.
You can promise due process without promising citizenship.
You could follow through on obvious cases of abuse, such as military recruiters lying, and guaranteeing that those who serve on the military will automatically get citizenship, or preferential treatment. No military veteran should be getting deported.
And anyone who has been in America for five years, does not have an AMERICAN criminal record, is employed, and is paying taxes, should have a fast track to citizenship.

It’s the only way to promise justice that cannot later be revoked by a second Trump. This is restitution. And it needs to be delivered in a durable form.
No, a guarantee of citizenship without actually going through the process of vetting people? Just “we casually tossed you, not having done our job, so this time we’ll not do our job a second time” is a pretty terrible policy, not to mention horribly unjust to everyone waiting in line. I worked with a guy who’d spent 17 years on the process to get his sister over to the US. Hearing about all the troubles he had, even as a citizen, trying to sponsor her and do things the right way and his frustration at the politicians wanting to just let people in ahead of her gave me a little more perspective on the whole process and what’s just.
Besides, if they go through the process and become citizens, there’s no revoking it anyway.
Bullshit, the fact that a line exists because our systems move so slowly is what’s unjust to those people
