US EditionJudge rules Trump administration's policy for "third-country" deportations is unlawful
Federal judge rules policy allowing swift deportations to unrelated countries without notice violates immigration laws and due process, pausing enforcement for 15 days for appeal.
- On Feb 25, U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy in Boston ruled the Trump administration's Department of Homeland Security policy enabling rapid deportations unlawful and invalid.
- The ruling stems from a class-action lawsuit targeting a March memo and July guidance that documented the third-country deportation policy and sued on behalf of migrants facing removal to countries not named in their immigration court orders.
- DOJ defended the guidance, saying it permits deporting migrants based on credible diplomatic assurances or after six hours' notice to remove the 'worst of the worst'.
- The court delayed enforcement for 15 days to allow an appeal, with the case having already seen two interventions by the U.S. Supreme Court.
- Previously, Murphy blocked the deportation of eight men to South Sudan, and an earlier injunction hindered removals to South Sudan, Libya and El Salvador.
