US judge rules Trump policy of ‘third country’ deportations unlawful
AI Summary
A US federal judge ruled on February 25, 2026, that the Trump administration's policy of rapidly deporting migrants to countries other than their own was unlawful. District Judge Brian Murphy declared the policy invalid, stating it violated due process rights under the US Constitution. The ruling prevents the government from deporting migrants to third-party countries without allowing them the opportunity to appeal their removal. Judge Murphy emphasized that individuals cannot be sent to unfamiliar or potentially dangerous countries without legal recourse. This decision marks another legal setback for the Trump administration's mass deportation campaign, which aims to remove immigrants who violate the law or lack legal documentation. The Department of Homeland Security may appeal the decision to the Supreme Court.
