Trump administration ‘inadvertently’ deported transgender woman to Mexico despite judge’s concern she may face torture thereElizabeth Wolfe, CNNNovember 19, 2025The Trump administration admitted it “inadvertently” deported a transgender woman to Mexico this month after a judge ordered she not be removed to the country over fears she may be tortured or violently persecuted.The government has said it will allow Britania Uriostegui Rios, a Mexican national, to return to the US if she is able to make it to the border. Once she has returned, she will be placed back in ICE custody while the administration tries to deport her to a different country, court documents show.The case marks the latest example of the Trump administration wrongfully removing someone protected by court orders or special status as it works to carry out the president’s goal of a history-making mass deportation program. Uriostegui Rios is at least the fifth such case this year, including the administration’s dramatic legal showdown over the removal – and eventual return – of Salvadoran man Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
What I think is that the courts orders sits on someone's desk until it is too late to stop the deportation.
Politico reports that;
Uriostegui Rios, a Nevada resident with a long criminal rap sheet, lost her status as a lawful permanent resident in 2023, after pleading guilty to a felony assault with a deadly weapon. After she received a suspended criminal sentence, Uriostegui was quickly placed in deportation proceedings, and an immigration judge ordered her deported from the country earlier this year.However, the judge also barred the administration from sending Uriostegui Rios to Mexico, finding a likelihood she would be tortured or killed as a result of her transgender status.Despite that order, lawyers for Uriostegui Rios say that on Nov. 11, without warning, she was abruptly transported from Louisiana to Texas and placed on a bus that dropped her off in Mexico. After the attorneys inquired about the deportation, the Justice Department acknowledged the error.
Yeah, she was a bad woman but the courts said stop for a minute while we work this out but it seems like both ICE & CBP just ignores the courts. It is not a question of whether or not she should be deported, it is a question why didn't ICE & CBP obey the court order!
A Department of Homeland Security official said in a statement that Uriostegui Rios would be brought back to the U.S. until another country is found for her deportation.
Yeah, right! How much "looking" will the DHS do?
“The end result will be the same — Rios will not be able to remain in the U.S. and will be removed,” Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said. “The fact of the matter is those who are in our country illegally have a choice — they can leave the country voluntarily or be arrested and deported. Under President Trump and Secretary Noem, the days of criminal illegal aliens indefinitely remaining in the U.S. are OVER.”
Um... she ignored the third option... the courts! When the courts say no... you don't go ahead and deport them.
I have been cuttings back on my post, it is just too hard emotionally to to keep up with writing the number of post that I posted in the past. I will still be posting but probably one or two a day.
