Jordin Melgar-Salmeron
Jordin Melgar-Salmeron, a 31-year-old married father of four from Virginia, was recently in the news after an appeals court ordered his return to the United States following his wrongful deportation to El Salvador. He was deported just 28 minutes after a court issued an order barring his removal, despite the government’s assurances that his deportation would not occur until the following day. Melgar-Salmeron has a complicated history, having previously been affiliated with the MS-13 street gang and serving time for illegal possession of a firearm, but his legal representation asserts that he has since renounced gang ties. His case highlights ongoing concerns regarding compliance with judicial orders by immigration authorities.
