A US appeals court has allowed the Trump administration to resume deporting undocumented migrants to countries other than their homelands, a practice known as third-country removal. In a 2–1 ruling, the US Court of Appeals for the First Circuit lifted a lower court block, letting deportations continue while legal challenges proceed, marking a key legal win for President Donald Trump.
Earlier, US District Judge Brian Murphy had ruled the policy unlawful, citing risks of torture or serious harm, but paused his order to allow an appeal. The dispute includes cases of migrants whose home countries refused repatriation. The US Supreme Court previously intervened in a related case involving deportations to South Sudan. Attorney General Pam Bondi called the latest ruling a major victory for immigration enforcement.
The decision comes as the administration expands deportation efforts, investing heavily in detention capacity and enforcement staff with a goal of removing up to one million migrants this year. Officials say the strategy combines large-scale operations with measures encouraging voluntary departures.
