    2026.09.18 Order - Sanchez Servellon v. Baltazar

    Judge Regina Rodriguez ordered federal authorities to return Brayan Omar Sanchez Servellon, a Honduran immigrant who was deported to the Central African Republic, to the United States, finding that the government violated his due process rights by not giving him notice or an opportunity to challenge his removal before sending him to a third country. The order directs the federal government to return Sanchez Servellon to Colorado and release him "on his own recognizance along with all his personal belongings, without onerous conditions of release, including, without limitation, GPS monitoring, mandatory reporting, or other restrictions on his movement." Sanchez Servellon v. Baltazar, 1:26-cv-02908 (D. Colo.).
