A federal judge has maintained her order for the Trump administration to reinstate a Venezuelan asylum seeker who was deported to El Salvador. On Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Stephanie Gallagher emphasized the importance of due process in her ruling.
During a hearing in Baltimore, Judge Gallagher, appointed by Trump, dismissed the government’s attempt to modify her previous order regarding 20-year-old Daniel Lozano-Camargo. She insisted on the necessity of adhering to legal protocols that grant individuals the right to seek asylum.
