Trump's Third Country Deportations Get Ruled Out of Order The US Court of Appeals for the First Circuit has largely upheld a lower court's decision blocking the rapid deportation of migrants to third countries without giving them a meaningful chance to raise safety concerns.
This policy, which allowed migrants with final deportation orders to be sent to other countries provided diplomatic assurances were in place, has been criticized by human rights groups for its potential to deny protections to those sent to unfamiliar lands.
The court's decision sends a clear message: the Trump administration's efforts to outsource its deportation woes are not above the law.
