U.S. Judge Blocks Trump Policy to Accelerate Deportations of Thousands Under 'Deport First, Ask Questions Later' Strategy

A U.S. judge has ruled that the Trump administration's new policy aimed at accelerating deportations cannot be implemented. The policy sought to expedite the removal of thousands of migrants by deporting them to countries other than their countries of origin, effectively bypassing standard legal procedures such as trials or hearings. The court's decision blocks this approach, emphasizing that deportations cannot be fast-tracked to third countries without proper legal processes. This ruling prevents the administration from enforcing what has been described as a "deport first, ask questions later" strategy.
