Australian Court Rejects Convicted Murderer's Appeal of Deportation to Small Island Nation
Seven judges rejected TCXM’s challenge, clearing the way for Australia’s first deportations under a new 30-year resettlement deal with Nauru.
- On Wednesday, the High Court of Australia unanimously upheld the deportation order for TCXM, an Iranian man, to Nauru, ending his legal challenges to remain in Australia.
- TCXM arrived from Iran in 1990 and received a protection visa in 1995, but his visa was canceled in 2015 after he served 22 years for murdering his wife, triggering eight years in immigration detention.
- Under a resettlement agreement, Australia pays Nauru $70 million annually to house unwanted non-citizens under 30-year visas for those unable to return to their homelands.
- Immigration Minister Tony Burke applauded the ruling, stating, "A cancelled visa must have consequences in our migration system," as the government asserts control over immigration policy.
- Following a 2023 High Court ruling that found indefinite detention illegal for stateless individuals, more than 350 people including TCXM were released on temporary visas.
