US EditionAppeals court allows Trump to swiftly deport migrants to third countries
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit blocked a lower court order requiring notice and home-country prioritization, allowing deportations to third countries to continue.
- 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.
