What happened, for context

A federal appeals court for the First Circuit ruled on September 18, 2026, that the Trump administration's policy allowing deportation of migrants to third countries without adequate due process violates legal protections. The three-judge panel ordered that deportees must receive notice of their destination and a meaningful opportunity to contest removal based on fears of persecution or torture.
