Federal Judge Blocks Trump Administration’s Rapid Deportation Policy
US District Judge Brian Murphy wrote in his ruling, “It is not fine, nor is it legal.” He explained that Congress established it as US policy not to expel, extradite, or involuntarily return any person to a country where they could face torture, and that the government “may not remove” someone whose “life or freedom would be threatened.”
Murphy emphasized that anyone facing deportation is entitled to due process, including legal representation and access to a court hearing. “These are our laws, and it is with profound gratitude for the unbelievable luck of being born in the United States of America that this Court affirms these and our nation's bedrock principle: that no 'person' in this country may be 'deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law,’” he said.
The judge also noted that DHS’s third-country removal policy disproportionately targets individuals whose personal characteristics—such as “race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion”—make them vulnerable to persecution and oppression globally.
