Overview

• The nationwide injunction mandates written notice and a meaningful opportunity for noncitizens to contest deportations to third countries due to safety concerns.
• Judge Murphy's ruling cited risks of persecution, torture, and death as irreparable harms without due process protections.
• The decision extends a prior temporary restraining order and will remain in effect until litigation is resolved, despite the administration's intent to appeal.
• The Department of Homeland Security's March guidance requiring diplomatic assurances before deportations was deemed insufficient to safeguard due process rights.
• Judge Murphy is separately reviewing allegations that the administration violated his earlier order by deporting three men to El Salvador without allowing them to raise safety concerns.
