      An appeals court smacked down Trump’s (obviously unlawful) third-country removal scheme. A win is a win. But there are a lot of “buts.”

    • This is a small fraction of the 985,000 people deported during Trump's second administration. The administration argues that those being deported to third countries have final removal orders from U.S. immigration judges. However, they cannot be sent to their home countries

    1st Circuit panel upholds due-process requirement

    A three-judge panel of the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals largely affirmed Murphy's ruling, holding that migrants must get a meaningful chance to raise safety concerns before being sent to third countries, though it overturned one procedural part of his order.

    “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. We decline to adopt such an interpretation.”
    — Circuit Judge Seth Aframe
