Credited from: AA

A federal judge ruled the Trump administration's 'third country' deportation policy unlawful.
The judge highlighted violation of due process rights for deported migrants.
Trump administration may appeal the ruling, which includes a temporary stay.
The policy has faced significant legal challenges concerning human rights violations.
Concerns raised over deporting individuals to countries where they may face persecution.

A federal judge in Massachusetts, US District Judge Brian E. Murphy, ruled on February 25 that the Trump administration's policy of rapidly deporting immigrants to "third countries" is unlawful, stating it violates due process rights. Murphy's ruling underscores that the government cannot send migrants to unfamiliar countries without providing them a chance to appeal their deportation, thus contravening protections mandated by US law, according to Le Monde and Al Jazeera.

The ruling rebukes the notion put forth by the Trump administration that it is acceptable to deport migrants to countries where they could face danger and human rights violations. "It is not fine, nor is it legal," Murphy affirmed, highlighting the illegality of such actions under current US law, as noted in AA and Al Jazeera.
