Trump blocked from deporting migrants to countries where they’re not citizens
A federal judge said deportees must first have a “meaningful opportunity” to seek humanitarian protection in the United States.
As the Trump administration struggles to carry out the largest mass deportation campaign in U.S. history, the decision from U.S. District Judge Brian E. Murphy on Friday marks the third time in less than two weeks that a court has blocked or slowed those efforts. It follows threats from Homeland Security Secretary Kristi L. Noem this week that anyone in the United States illegally could be swept away to El Salvador and imprisoned in one of the nation’s sprawling prisons.
In a two-page decision following a hearing, Murphy wrote that officials may not deport someone to a so-called third country “unless and until” they provide the deportee and their lawyer written notice of the country to which they are being sent. Then, the judge said, officials must let them apply in immigration court for protection to stay in the U.S. under the Convention Against Torture, which Congress ratified in 1994 to prohibit the government from sending immigrants to a country where they might be tortured.
After that, the judge said, the agency must await a final decision from an immigration judge before sending someone to another country.
