Appeals court rules Trump admin can continue quickly deporting illegal migrants to third countries

A federal appeals court ruled Monday that the Trump administration can continue its swift deportation efforts of illegal migrants to third countries, overturning a lower court's ruling that the practice was illegal.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 1st Circuit did not give a reason for the ruling but allowed the deportations to continue in a 2-1 decision. The panel also expedited the schedule for the case’s next phase, according to The Hill.

Judge Lara Montecalvo, who was appointed by former President Joe Biden, dissented, while Judge Jeffrey Howard, nominated by former President George W. Bush, and Judge Seth Aframe, another Biden nominee, ruled in the majority.

The order comes after U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy directed the Trump administration last month to first try to remove migrants to the country they come from, and provide migrants with a “meaningful opportunity” to contest their deportation if they cannot return to their home country and once a third country is selected.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

"....did not give a reason for the ruling..".

Maybe they thought they didn't need to give a reason. The lower court judges should have known they were stepping out of their lane.

In other deportation news, I saw earlier where ICE is hitting Minnesota hard today — armed raids on Somali-heavy properties. The Somali deportation surge has officially begun.

Once again lower courts stepping out of bounds get slapped back into place. When will the Trumpists learn to ignore their national rulings???

Deport them all to Timbuktu with a package of Tootsie Rolls an $500 in their pockets to find their way home.

Its a shame that we have to go BEG judges to do the right thing, meanwhile during Biden’s presidency his hired goons was allowed to do whatever they damn well felt like doing, no one sued him

Also today,

“SCOTUS agrees to hear Trump admin’s bid to end Temporary Protected Status for Haitians, Syrians”

https://justthenews.com/government/courts-law/scotus-agrees-hear-trump-admins-bid-end-temporary-protected-status-haitians

“The Supreme Court said Monday it will hear the Trump administration’s efforts to end Temporary Protected Status for Haitian and Syrian migrants, which protects migrants in the U.S. under the designation from being deported.

Although the high court has agreed to take up the case, it did not immediately allow the Trump administration to end the programs while it considers the appeals, which leaves two lower court rulings in place.”

Removal of Deportees to third countries and the Due Process due to them is clearly written in black and white in the US Code. No interpretation needed or allowed.

We have no obligation to deport a criminal to a country he claims to be from. Deport him anywhere.

Do it by lottery on television. It can be like "The Running Man".

Maybe he'll go to Ukraine. Maybe he'll go to Afghanistan, Iran, or Haiti. Place your online bets before we spin the wheel and find out.

Speaking of American-hating judges....

“JUDICIAL COUP: Today, Biden activist Judge Brian Murphy just STRUCK DOWN Health Sec. Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s move to recommend fewer vaccines for young children

The judge also unilaterally struck down Kennedy deciding who serves on the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices.”
