美国一家联邦上诉法院周五裁定,美国移民官员必须为被拘留者提供“有意义的机会,对任何遣送至其毫无关联国家的决定提出异议”。

这一由波士顿的美国第一巡回上诉法院作出的裁决,对特朗普政府颇具争议的“第三国”驱逐政策构成打击。该政策将部分移民遣送至距离其原籍国数千英里之外的国家,在某些情况下,将来自拉丁美洲的被驱逐者遣送至撒哈拉以南非洲地区。

上诉法院基本维持了下级法院认定该政策非法的裁决,驳回了国土安全部(DHS)的相关规定。该规定允许联邦移民官员在几乎不提供通知或不给当事人提出异议机会的情况下,将被驱逐者遣送至所谓的“第三国”。

涉事的国土安全部政策于去年生效,赋予官员权力,在某国向美国国务院作出全面保证不会迫害或折磨被驱逐者的前提下,可不对被驱逐者提前通知便将其遣送至该国。若第三国未作出此类保证,该政策指示官员向被拘留者提供一定通知。

上诉法院在很大程度上维持了美国地区法院法官布莱恩·墨菲的裁决。布莱恩·墨菲曾多次谴责本届政府的第三国驱逐行动,称其侵犯了被驱逐者的正当程序权利。

“如果一个人没有事先收到拟被遣送至某个国家的通知,也没有机会对该目的地提出异议,那么他基于对该国迫害的恐惧而对被驱逐提出异议的权利便形同虚设,”上诉法院合议庭写道。

对此政策提起诉讼的团体之一——全国移民诉讼联盟表示,第一巡回法院“明确裁定,政府不能仅凭更换驱逐目的地,就规避反迫害和反酷刑的保护措施”。

该团体执行主任特里娜·雷阿尔穆托表示:“一年多来,许多集体诉讼当事人在未被告知可能被遣送至哪个国家、几乎或完全没有获得通知,也没有机会解释他们在目的地将面临何种危险的情况下,被驱逐至第三国。”

国土安全部总法律顾问詹姆斯·珀西瓦尔周五晚间在X平台上表示:“第三国驱逐政策仍在实施,因为第一巡回法院的裁决目前尚未生效。如果你声称害怕本国的迫害,国土安全部有权将你遣送至其他国家。”

周五的裁决几乎肯定会被上诉至最高法院。但即便如此,这对特朗普总统打击非法移民行动中不断强化的一项政策而言,仍是一次重大的法律挫败。

特朗普政府已与全球30多个国家达成第三国驱逐协议,包括利比里亚等非洲国家。在某些情况下,被驱逐者被遣送至第三国,是因为法院命令保护他们不会被遣返回原籍国,但并未禁止政府彻底将其驱逐出境。

根据一个倡导团体的数据,特朗普政府时期已有超过2.5万名移民被遣送至第三国,其中约80%被遣送至墨西哥。

哥伦比亚广播公司新闻本周早些时候报道了一组上个月被飞往利比里亚的被驱逐者,其中包括南美和中美洲国家的公民——如巴西、哥伦比亚、危地马拉、洪都拉斯和委内瑞拉——以及来自非洲其他地区的人员。这些目前住在酒店的移民表示,美国移民及海关执法局(ICE)并未通知他们将被遣送至利比里亚,也没有给他们机会对被驱逐至西非的决定提出异议。

“我很担心,”洪都拉斯本地人埃尔维斯·罗德里格斯·文图拉斯告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻,“我感觉自己离得很远,在世界的另一端。”

Appeals court rejects Trump’s third-country deportation policy, says detainees are entitled to more due process

A federal appeals court ruled Friday that U.S. immigration officials must offer detainees “a meaningful opportunity to contest” any deportation to countries where they have no ties.

The ruling by the Boston-based U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit marks a setback for the Trump administration’s controversial “third-country” deportation policy, which has dropped off some migrants thousands of miles from their country of origin — in some cases sending deportees who hailed from Latin America to sub-Saharan Africa.

The appellate court largely upheld a lower court order finding that policy illegal, ruling against Department of Homeland Security rules that allow federal immigration officials to send deportees to so-called “third countries” with little to no notice or opportunity to challenge their deportation.

The DHS policy in question, enacted last year, gave officials the power to send migrants to a third country without giving them any notice if that nation gave the State Department blanket assurances that it would not persecute or torture the deportees. In cases in which third countries do not make such assurances, the policy instructs officials to give detainees some notice.

The appeals court affirmed, for the most part, a ruling from U.S. District Court Judge Brian Murphy, who has repeatedly rebuked the administration’s third-country deportation campaign on the basis that it has violated deportees’ due process rights.

“An individual’s right to contest removal to a country based on a fear of persecution in that country means little if one does not receive prior notice of the intended removal destination and a meaningful opportunity to contest that destination,” the appeals court panel wrote.

The National Immigration Litigation Alliance, one of the groups that sued over the policy, said the First Circuit “clearly held that the government cannot evade protections against persecution and torture by simply changing the deportation destination.”

“For over a year, many class members [have] been deported to countries they had never been told they could be removed to, with little or no notice and without a meaningful opportunity to explain the dangers awaiting them there,” said Trina Realmuto, the group’s executive director.

DHS General Counsel James Percival said on X late Friday: “The third country deportation policy continues, as the First Circuit’s ruling is not currently in effect. If you claim fear in your home country, DHS has the right to send you elsewhere.”

Friday’s ruling will almost certainly be appealed to the Supreme Court. But it is nonetheless a significant legal defeat for an intensifying part of President Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigration.

His administration has brokered third-country deportation agreements with more than 30 nations across the globe, including African countries like Liberia. In some cases, deportees are sent to a third country because a court order protects them from being sent to their country of origin, but does not bar the government from deporting them altogether.

More than 25,000 migrants have been deported to third countries under the Trump administration, around 80% of whom have been sent to Mexico, according to one advocacy group.

CBS News reported earlier this week on a group of deportees who were flown to Liberia last month, including citizens of countries in South and Central America — like Brazil, Colombia, Guatemala, Honduras and Venezuela — and people from other parts of Africa. The migrants, who are living in a hotel, said they were not notified by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement that they would be removed to Liberia, and weren’t given the chance to challenge their deportation to West Africa.

“I’m concerned,” Honduran native Elvis Rodriguez Venturas told CBS News. “I feel far away, on the other side of the world.”
