The Shocking Case Of O.C.G. - Andrew Weissmann

[Rhiannon12866]

The treatment of O.C.G. is like Abrego Garcia, but worse!

Today I talk to you about a new decision by federal district judge Brian Murphy in Massachusetts involving O.C.G. (an acronym permitted by the court to protect the plaintiff from retaliation). Murphy found that O.C.G. was extracted to Mexico, without due process, and after an immigration hearing in which he was informed he could not be sent to Mexico, at least without further due process. Nevertheless he was sent there just two days later by the Trump Administration.

But it gets worse. The Trump Administration filed with Judge Murphy a declaration that O.C.G. admitted he was okay being sent to Mexico, something that O.C.G. and his counsel disputed as false.

Just hours before the government had to submit to a deposition so that plaintiff could test its assertion, the Trump Administration admitted its claim was made in “error.”

I discuss all this in this video, and the court’s numerous findings against the government.

Facts matter. Stay engaged. - Andrew Weissmann - 05/25/2025.
