US Judge Blocks Trump Administration’s Fast-Track Deportation Policy

A federal judge has issued a nationwide order blocking the Trump administration from deporting migrants to countries where they have no prior connection, without first allowing them to present claims of persecution or torture.

US District Judge Brian Murphy, ruling in Boston, granted a temporary restraining order, preventing the government from swiftly removing migrants to alternative countries not previously designated during their immigration proceedings.

The ruling marks a significant legal setback for the Trump administration’s immigration policies, which have faced multiple challenges from human rights organizations and advocacy groups. The decision underscores ongoing judicial scrutiny over efforts to fast-track deportations without adequate due process protections.
