Washington, April 26 (RHC)-- A U.S. federal judge in Maryland has ordered the Trump administration to facilitate the return of a 20-year-old Venezuelan immigrant who was among the group of over 200 transferred from the United States to El Salvador in March.

District Judge Stephanie Gallagher, who was appointed by Trump, said his expulsion from the U.S. violated a previous court settlement that protected him from removal while his asylum case was pending. 

The asylum seeker, who’s been identified only as Cristian, was part of a class-action lawsuit filed in 2019 by a group of undocumented immigrants who came to the U.S. as unaccompanied children.
