Federal Judge Questions Deportations to Ghana

“A federal judge on Saturday denounced the Trump administration for what she said appeared to be a deliberate scheme to ignore court-ordered protections for a group of deported immigrants who feared persecution in their home countries of Nigeria and Gambia,” the New York Times reports.

“But Judge Tanya Chutkan of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia appeared reluctant to order the return of the five migrants to the United States, instead asking the government to submit a sworn statement detailing its efforts to prevent the deportations of the people to their home countries.”

CNN: Judge says Trump administration is making “an end run around” federal court orders in deportation case.
