US appeals court rejects Trump policy allowing swift deportations to third countries
BOSTON, Massachusetts –
asserted
court → reject → countries
A US federal appeals court rejected on Sept 18 a policy adopted by US President Donald Trump’s administration that allows the authorities to rapidly deport migrants to countries other than their own without giving them a chance to raise safety concerns.
asserted
authorities → reject → concerns
Ruling in a case that is likely headed to the Supreme Court, a three-judge panel of the Boston-based 1st US Circuit Court of Appeals largely upheld a February decision by a lower-court judge that declared the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) policy unlawful.
asserted
policy → rule → Security
The ruling came in a class-action lawsuit filed by migrants subject to deportation orders that has become a key test of what due process protections the government must provide before removing people to countries with which they have no connection.
asserted
they → come → connection
“This decision confirms that due process and the protections Congress enacted against persecution and torture cannot be circumvented by putting someone on a plane to a country that was never part of their removal proceedings,” Trina Realmuto, a lawyer for the plaintiffs at the National Immigration Litigation Alliance, said
Under Trump, the administration has entered into a series of agreements that have allowed it to send more than 25,000 migrants to at least 29 third countries, in many cases Mexico, according to Third Country Deportation Watch, a project run by Refugees International and Human Rights First.
The Trump administration is expected to appeal.
uncertain
administration → confirm → International
Earlier in the same case, the administration twice convinced the Supreme Court to lift a preliminary injunction protecting migrants’ due process rights, clearing the way for eight men to be deported to South Sudan.
asserted
men → convince → Sudan
DHS had no immediate comment.
asserted
DHS → have → comment
Under the third-country deportation programme, DHS adopted a policy in March 2025 that would allow migrants to be sent to such countries if immigration authorities have credible diplomatic assurances they will not be persecuted or tortured there.
asserted
they → adopt → assurances
The policy called for only minimal notice before a migrant could be sent to a third country that had not given the State Department such assurances.
uncertain
that → call → assurances
Third country deportations
US District Judge Brian Murphy, an appointee of former US Democratic president Joe Biden, set aside the policy and concluded that it failed to protect migrants’ due process rights and could lead to their swift deportation to unfamiliar and potentially dangerous countries, without notice.
uncertain
it → set → notice
On appeal, the Trump administration contended that Murphy’s order if left intact would usurp its authority to execute potentially thousands of valid orders of deportation to third countries.
asserted
order → contend → countries
But US Circuit Judge Seth Aframe, writing for the panel on Sept 18, said Murphy adopted a “sensible” interpretation of the immigration law requiring migrants be given a “meaningful” chance to raise any concerns before they are deported.
asserted
they → write → concerns
“DHS’s proposed interpretation would deny access to that protection to a substantial swath of noncitizens who are sent to third countries with no notice of their destination,” Aframe wrote.
asserted
Aframe → propose → destination
“We decline to adopt such an interpretation.”
asserted
We → decline → interpretation
The panel included two Biden appointees, including Aframe, and a judge appointed by a Republican president.
asserted
panel → include → president
However, the 1st Circuit overturned one part of Murphy’s ruling on procedural grounds.
asserted
Circuit → overturn → grounds
That part of the ruling concerned whether the government must first try to deport migrants to countries they have ties to before sending them to third countries.
asserted
they → concern → countries
