Judge Rejects Trump's Deportation Policy to Third Countries

A federal judge ruled Wednesday that a Trump administration policy of rapidly deporting migrants is unlawful. The policy allowed for deportation to countries with which migrants have no connection, denying them a chance to claim fear of persecution or torture. The judge found the practice violates due process rights. Previously, migrants have been deported to nations like South Sudan and El Salvador, including the CECOT prison. This is not the first time the administration has been found to have violated court orders regarding immigration policy. The ruling will be paused for 15 days, allowing time for an appeal.
