A federal judge has issued a temporary restraining order, halting the Trump administration's efforts to deport migrants to so-called "third countries." The order provides a window for migrants to demonstrate that being deported to countries such as El Salvador, Guatemala, or Honduras would place them in danger. The lawsuit challenging the policy argues that these countries lack the infrastructure and safety measures to adequately protect asylum seekers.
The judge's decision means that the government cannot proceed with deportations under this policy until further legal proceedings. Migrants will now have the chance to present their case and argue why they should not be sent to these third countries. The ruling emphasizes the importance of ensuring the safety and well-being of individuals seeking asylum in the United States. The Department of Justice is expected to appeal the decision. Legal experts anticipate a lengthy and complex legal battle over the future of the deportation policy.
