A federal judge in Massachusetts has further restricted the Trump administration’s ability to deport illegal immigrants from Guantanamo Bay without due process, issuing an amended preliminary injunction that expands protections for noncitizens held at the U.S. naval base.
The April 30 order from U.S. District Judge Brian E. Murphy modifies a previous injunction that he issued on April 18, clarifying that no removals from Guantanamo Bay to third countries may proceed unless detainees are first given an opportunity to raise claims of potential persecution or torture.
