Federal Judge Blocks Rapid Third-Country Deportations Without Due Process

Judge Brian Murphy's nationwide injunction halts deportations to third countries unless migrants are given written notice and 15 days to challenge removal.

TECOLUCA, EL SALVADOR – MARCH 16: In this handout photo provided by the Salvadoran government, guards escort a newly admitted inmate allegedly linked to criminal organizations inside a cell at CECOT on March 16, 2025 in Tecoluca, El Salvador. Trump’s administration deported 238 alleged members of the Venezuelan criminal organizations ‘Tren De Aragua’ and Mara Salvatrucha with only 23 being members of the Mara. Nayib Bukele president of El Salvador announced that his government will receive the alleged members of the gang to be taken to CECOT. On February of 2023 El Salvador inaugurated Latin America’s largest prison as part of President Nayib Bukele’s plan to fight gangs.

Overview

  • Judge Brian Murphy issued a preliminary injunction requiring the Trump administration to provide written notice and a meaningful opportunity for migrants to contest deportations to third countries.
  • The injunction mandates at least 15 days for migrants to raise safety concerns, including fears of persecution or torture, before removal can proceed.
  • The Trump administration has signaled its intent to appeal the ruling, which complicates its broader immigration enforcement agenda.
  • Emergency motions in Texas, New York, and Colorado have temporarily blocked deportations under the Alien Enemies Act, citing due process violations.
  • Judge James Boasberg has called an emergency hearing to address reports of imminent deportations under the Alien Enemies Act despite ongoing legal challenges.
