Trump administration’s third-country deportation policy unlawful, judge finds

The ruling could make it more difficult for the government to send migrants to countries that are not their own.

25 Feb, 21:17 — 25 Feb, 23:59

Why this matters

This policy allowed the US to deport migrants to countries they had only transited through, rather than their home country, often without a full asylum hearing. The judge's ruling challenges a key component of the Trump administration's immigration enforcement strategy, potentially restoring due process protections for asylum seekers and altering future deportation practices.
