[US Appeals Court Rules Third-Country Deportation Policy Illegal, Trump Administration Suffers Setback] ⑴ A US federal appeals court ruled on Friday that the Trump administration's policy of deporting immigrants to third countries is illegal. ⑵ This ruling could halt a program that has already deported thousands of people to countries other than their country of origin. ⑶ A three-judge panel of the US First Circuit unanimously upheld a lower court's ruling in February. ⑷ The ruling found that the Department of Homeland Security's policy violated due process rights by failing to adequately inform immigrants. ⑸ It also failed to give them the opportunity to file fear-based appeals or challenge the decision to deport them to third countries. ⑹ This ruling is a major setback for the Trump administration, which has been trying to make the third-country deportation system a core component of its large-scale deportations. ⑺ Public records show that since Trump took office last year, the Department of Homeland Security has deported more than 25,000 immigrants to third countries. ⑻ The destinations are mostly in Latin America and Africa. (9) From a market sentiment perspective, this ruling pertains to policy and legal issues, and its short-term impact on macroeconomics and asset pricing is limited. (10) Going forward, attention should be paid to whether the government will appeal and whether the actual implementation of the repatriation program will be suspended.
