A U.S. federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit filed by the family members of Mohamed Sabry Soliman, the Egyptian national charged with carrying out an anti-Semitic firebomb attack at a pro-Israel march in Boulder, Colorado. The judge ruled that the family is not eligible for expedited removal and lifted a previous block on their deportation. The ruling noted confusion caused by social media posts from the White House falsely claiming that the family's deportation was being expedited. The Trump administration has pursued the deportation of the family amid broader immigration enforcement policies. Separately, the administration has resumed deporting migrants to third countries when their home nations refuse to accept them, including sending some migrants to South Sudan. This policy has drawn criticism amid concerns about the conditions awaiting deportees, particularly Afghan allies whose protected status in the U.S. is being ended and whose relocation office was recently eliminated. Homeland Security officials have described some deportees as individuals whose home countries refused to take them back, necessitating third-country deportations.
Trump sends migrants to ‘third countries.’ Others have tried that. https://t.co/4VPXhS5cxR If their home countries took them back, as they are obliged to do, this would be unnecessary -- but many don't, so we need to ramp this up.
The Trump Administration is abandoning our Afghan allies. On Friday, Rubio eliminated the office in charge of relocating Afghans who helped the U.S. military. These people saved American lives. Who would help our military when they see us abandoning the Afghans who helped us? https://t.co/Ytcvd0Dah4
The Trump administration has resumed sending deportees to countries other than their home nations. https://t.co/F2HTmDklZJ
