Judge Rules Deportation Illegal
  • U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy of Massachusetts ruled that deportations to third countries without notice are illegal.
  • Murphy emphasized that migrants must receive meaningful notice and a chance to contest their deportations.
  • The ruling stems from a class-action suit after eight migrants were deported to Djibouti rather than South Sudan.
  • The ruling pauses the policy for 15 days to allow an appeal.
