US EditionAppeals court allows Trump to swiftly deport migrants to third countries
The 1st U.S. Circuit Court allowed deportations to countries other than migrants’ origins to continue amid ongoing legal challenges, with about 300 deportees affected, Senate Democrats reported.
- On Monday, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit allowed the Trump administration to continue third-country deportations, blocking a lower-court ruling.
- District Judge Brian Murphy ruled last month that third-country deportations were unlawful but stayed his order to allow an appeal; the Supreme Court has twice intervened, including in July when it allowed eight men sent to Djibouti to proceed to South Sudan.
- By a 2-1 vote, the appeals panel voted to pause the ruling, with Judges Jeffrey R. Howard and Seth Aframe voting to allow deportations and Judge Lara Montecalvo dissenting.
- The appeals order set an unusually brisk schedule, with the government's opening brief due in two weeks and third-country deportations continuing while litigation proceeds.
- Rights advocates warn the practice risks reversing 'non-refoulement', routing migrants to Eswatini, Rwanda and Ghana, and Senate Democrats said the administration spent more than $32 million last month.
