Judge Halts Kilmar Abrego Garcia Deportation Hearing Amid Ongoing Legal Battle

A federal judge in Maryland canceled a scheduled hearing regarding the deportation case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national previously sent to a prison in El Salvador despite a court order. While the hearing was postponed, the Trump administration continues to seek his removal to a third country, citing potential destinations like Eswatini, Liberia, or Uganda. Abrego Garcia’s legal team argues that Costa Rica is the appropriate destination, as it has offered him refugee status and residency. The case remains active as the government pursues alternative removal options following the dismissal of criminal charges against him.

Malaysia Deports 1,500 Myanmar Refugees Amid Safety Concerns and Aid Shortfalls

Malaysia deported nearly 1,500 Myanmar nationals on September 29, 2026, as part of a plan to repatriate 5,000 people. The move follows a surge in anti-refugee sentiment and raids, while UNHCR and rights groups warn that returns are unsafe due to ongoing conflict in Myanmar. Aid resources have shrunk significantly since the closure of USAID in 2025, leaving fewer protections for detainees.

ICE's 'Soft Feet' Strategy: Record Arrests Continue as Tactics Shift to Covert Raids

ICE has shifted from high-visibility 'siege' tactics to covert, rapid operations, yet arrest numbers have reached record highs. While the agency aims to reduce media attention, critics argue the new approach is more insidious and equally violent.

Justice Department seeks emergency Supreme Court stay to resume third-country deportations

The Trump administration has filed an emergency appeal with the Supreme Court to revive its third-country deportation policy, which was recently blocked by lower courts. Solicitor General D. John Sauer argues that the current legal restrictions have caused diplomatic harm and prevented the removal of thousands of individuals, including those with criminal records. The administration seeks to bypass a requirement that provides migrants notice and a chance to challenge their destination before removal. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson has been assigned to handle the emergency request, with a response from opposing counsel due by Monday.

Supreme Court Urged to Halt Legal Block on Third-Country Deportations

The Trump administration has filed an emergency appeal with the U.S. Supreme Court to immediately resume deporting migrants to third countries, a practice halted by a recent First Circuit ruling. Solicitor General D. John Sauer argues that lower court decisions have disrupted diplomatic agreements and cancelled nearly 220 flights. The administration seeks to bypass a mandate requiring migrants to have a meaningful opportunity to challenge their destination before removal. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson has been assigned to the case and ordered opposing counsel to respond by Monday. This move follows a series of legal setbacks for the administration's mass deportation agenda, which has sent tens of thousands of people to nations where they are not citizens.

Supreme Court faces emergency plea to revive third-country deportations

The Trump administration has requested an emergency stay from the Supreme Court to resume deporting migrants to third countries, following a recent ruling by the First Circuit Court of Appeals that blocked the practice. The Justice Department argues that halting these removals has caused logistical chaos, including cancelled flights and diplomatic issues, while preventing the removal of dangerous criminals. The administration seeks to overturn a lower court decision that mandated migrants be given a meaningful opportunity to challenge their destination before removal. This dispute centers on the Convention Against Torture, which restricts deportation to countries where individuals face a risk of torture. The policy, which has already relocated approximately 25,000 migrants, remains a central component of the administration's broader immigration enforcement strategy despite ongoing legal challenges regarding due process and human rights concerns.

Judge halts deportation of DoorDash driver shot by ICE in Austin

A US judge has temporarily blocked the deportation of Wilber Rafael Garces Perez, a 28-year-old Venezuelan man shot by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer in Austin, Texas. Garces Perez, who was delivering food for DoorDash when shot, remains in federal custody with a bullet lodged in his back and a fractured clavicle. His attorney secured a temporary restraining order, forcing him to appear in person at a hearing on September 30, which prevents his removal until then. While DHS claims he had a final removal order, his lawyer argues he entered legally via a parole program. The incident has sparked nationwide protests and calls for an independent investigation, as local officials dispute the federal government's account of the shooting.

Migrant says he tried to pull over before ICE shot him in Austin

A Venezuelan immigrant shot by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in North Austin says an unmarked ICE SUV sideswiped his car and forced him to turn away, after which he was shot in the back when he asked to stop somewhere safer. His lawyers allege inadequate medical care and note that a deportation order was issued after a hearing notice went to an old address, highlighting concerns about enforcement and due process amid a pattern of ICE use-of-force incidents in Texas.

Iranian Christian deported to Panama finds an uncertain future under U.S. third-country policy

Arsalan Saleh Fard, a 25-year-old Iranian Christian who fled Iran and sought asylum in the United States, was deported to Panama as part of the Trump administration’s third-country deportation policy. Living in a shelter in Panama City, he faces language barriers, precarious legal status, and a lack of work rights or a clear path to permanent residency, highlighting the human toll of the policy and the limbo many migrants endure when there is no plan for what comes next.

Trump’s Remigration Drive: $410 Million for a Global Deportation Push

A Washington Post investigation reveals the Trump administration transformed the State Department’s refugee program into the Office of Remigration, forging third-country deportation deals with about 31 countries and pledging roughly $410 million to move migrants out of the United States, often bypassing standard safeguards. Led by White House adviser Stephen Miller with Andrew Veprek and Christian Ehrhardt, the policy relies on direct payments to governments and to bodies like the IOM and UNHCR to entice deportations, sparking criticism of potential refoulement and rights abuses and prompting lawsuits. By mid-2026, more than 25,000 migrants had been deported to at least 28 third countries, though many slots remain unfilled and the approach has fueled domestic and international controversy.

Appeals Court Orders Notice and Hearing Protections for Third-Country Deportations

The First Circuit ruled that DHS must give detainees a meaningful opportunity to contest deportation to third countries and require prior notice, rebuking the Trump administration’s policy of removals with limited safeguards; the decision largely upholds a lower court finding that the policy violated due process and is likely to be appealed to the Supreme Court.
