A federal judge has temporarily blocked a Trump administration policy that allowed the deportation of migrants to third countries without prior legal proceedings to contest their removal.
The ruling, issued by U.S. District Judge Brian E. Murphy in Massachusetts, has a nationwide impact and prevents U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from deporting individuals to nations not designated in their original immigration cases without first providing them written notice and an opportunity to seek protection under the Convention Against Torture.
