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.
