Trump administration blocked from deporting noncitizens to 3rd nation with due process

A federal judge in Boston, appointed by President Joe Biden, has issued a preliminary injunction preventing the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from deporting noncitizens to countries not specified in their order without giving them a chance to object to their removal. The judge’s ruling, which is in effect until the resolution of the case, requires noncitizens to be provided with written notice at least 15 days before being deported to a country that is not their homeland. This decision comes amid concerns about the safety of deportees who may face grave danger or death in certain countries. The judge criticized the Trump administration’s practice of sending deportable aliens to locations where they could be harmed without a fair opportunity to raise objections. The case may potentially be appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court.
