Summary
A US federal appeals court has rejected a Trump administration policy allowing migrants to be rapidly deported to third countries without a meaningful opportunity to raise concerns about persecution or torture. The court largely upheld a lower-court ruling that found the policy unlawful, emphasizing that migrants must have a genuine chance to challenge their removal to countries with which they may have no connection.

The Trump administration has used agreements with third countries to deport more than 25,000 migrants to 29 countries, including Mexico, Uganda, Liberia and the Central African Republic. The ruling does not prohibit third-country deportations themselves but requires adequate due-process protections before removal. The administration is expected to appeal, potentially taking the case to the Supreme Court.
