A federal appeals court formally struck down the Trump administration’s<\/a> current format for deporting illegal immigrants to third-party countries on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The Court of Appeals for the First Circuit issued a ruling last week that endorsed a lower court order that Immigration and Customs Enforcement<\/a> must allow migrants a meaningful chance to claim they would be endangered if deported to a third-party country.<\/p>\n

This week, however, ICE officials attempted to move forward with deporting at least one migrant, who originally hails from Peru, to Ghana.<\/p>\n

The Trump administration has repeatedly used third-party countries for deportations to execute removal orders on migrants who claim they would be tortured if returned to their country of origin.<\/p>\n

ICE argued the Peruvian migrant, identified as John Doe, could still be removed because the First Circuit had not formally issued a mandate striking down the policy, according to The American Prospect.<\/p>\n

When asked for a clarification this week, the First Circuit formally issued that mandate, striking down a stay that had allowed third-party deportations to continue while the case was being litigated in higher courts.<\/p>\n

“Consistent with this court’s September 18, 2026, Judgment, the March 16, 2026, stay pending appeal is dissolved,” the appeals court wrote in a brief order on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The First Circuit’s ruling upheld a February 2026 decision from Judge Brian Murphy, an appointee of former President Joe Biden<\/a>, who contended that the third-party deportations violated migrants’ due process rights because it could send them to unfamiliar or dangerous countries without their knowledge.<\/p>\n

First Circuit Judge Seth Aframe, one of two Biden appointees on a three-judge panel that handed down last week’s ruling, argued that Murphy was “sensible” to require DHS to allow migrants a “meaningful” chance to raise concerns about a country to which they could be deported..<\/p>\n

“DHS’s proposed interpretation would deny access to that protection to a substantial swath of noncitizens who are sent to third \u2060countries with \u200bno notice of their destination,” Aframe wrote. “We decline to adopt such an interpretation.”<\/p>\n
