US appeals court rejects Trump policy allowing swift deportations to third countries
The panel said migrants must get meaningful notice and a chance to raise safety claims before removal, and the policy has sent more than 25,000 people abroad.
- On Friday, the Boston-based 1st US Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a ruling blocking the policy of President Donald Trump that allowed for the rapid deportation of migrants to third countries without due process protections.
- District Judge Brian Murphy, an appointee of Democratic President Joe Biden, declared the policy unlawful in February, finding it failed to protect migrants' due process rights before removal to unfamiliar countries.
- Data from Third Country Deportation Watch shows the Trump administration has sent more than 25,000 migrants to at least 29 third countries, including Mexico, under agreements implemented by Trump.
- The Trump administration, which previously sought Supreme Court intervention, indicated willingness to return to the high court following the 1st Circuit's decision to uphold the lower-court ruling.
- This litigation represents a significant test of the due process protections the government must provide before removing migrants to countries with which they have no prior connection.
