An earlier court proceeding had determined that the man risked persecution or torture if he returned to Guatemala, but he also feared returning to Mexico, where he says he was raped and extorted.

The Trump administration is trying to return a Guatemalan national, named “O.C.G.” in court filings, who was deported to Mexico earlier this month.

A federal judge in Massachusetts had ordered officials to “facilitate” his return. The United States is still holding a group of other deportees at a base in Djibouti.
