Attorneys representing a man the Trump administration admittedly deported in violation of a court order are asking for the appointment of a special master who will investigate the “unlawful” removal.

Now, the man’s attorneys are rejecting those explanations in a letter motion filed Monday with the Second Circuit Court of Appeals.
“The Government’s actions in this case constitute no less than a grave affront to the rule of law — both for its ultimate violation of this Court’s court order and the apparently administrative perfidy which lead to that result,” the motion reads. “Mr. Melgar-Salmeron’s first priority is to have the Government correct its unlawful action by returning him to U.S. soil — and this Court should issue such an order.”
