Appeals court allows Trump to swiftly deport migrants to third countries

Source: The Hill

A federal appeals court ruled Monday that the Trump administration may keep swiftly deporting migrants to countries where they have no ties as a legal challenge unfolds.

The 2-1 vote on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 1st Circuit contained no explanation. The panel also expedited the schedule for the case’s next stage.

The Trump administration as part of its aggressive immigration crackdown has ramped up sending migrants to places other than their home countries, known as third country removals. It has struck deals with Cameroon, South Sudan and Eswatini, among other countries, to take in deportees.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has defended the practice by saying it is aimed at removing some of the most “barbaric” individuals living illegally in the U.S. In court, the Trump administration has mainly argued that federal judges have no authority to intervene.

I seem to recall reading that fewer than 10% of the people deported by ICE had any criminal record.
