Judge says Trump administration is making ‘an end run around’
federal court orders in deportation case

A federal judge on Saturday said it appeared the Trump administration
was making “an end run around” US court orders prohibiting five
African immigrants to be deported to their home countries by sending
them first to Ghana, which was poised to then relocate them to
countries where they could face torture or death.
US District Judge Tanya Chutkan ordered the government to detail
Saturday night how it was trying to ensure Ghana would not send the
immigrants elsewhere in violation of domestic court orders. One of the
plaintiffs has already been shipped from Ghana to his native Gambia,
where a US court found he could not be sent, Lee Gelernt of the
American Civil Liberties Union told Chutkan.
The case is the latest legal challenge to the Trump administration’s
practice of sending people to countries other than their own, including
El Salvador, Panama, Costa Rica and several African nations, as
President Donald Trump has been aggressively cracking down on
undocumented immigrants.
Elianis Perez of the Department of Justice acknowledged that she told
Chutkan in court on Friday that Ghana had pledged that wouldn’t
happen. But she argued that Chutkan had no power to control how another
country treats deportees. She noted the US Supreme Court this summer
ruled the administration could continue sending immigrants to countries
they are not from, even if they hadn’t had a chance to raise fears of
torture.
Gelernt, however, compared the case to that of , whom the Trump
administration mistakenly deported to El Salvador despite a court order
prohibiting it, then argued it couldn’t get him back. After multiple
courts directed the administration to “facilitate” his return,
Abrego Garcia eventually came back to the US, where he is now fighting
human trafficking charges and another Trump push to deport him.
“This appears to be a specific plan to make an end run around these
obligations,” Chutkan said of the administration shipping the
immigrants to Ghana. “What does the government intend to do? And
please don’t tell me you don’t have any control over Ghana because
I know that.”
Chutkan later issued an order giving the administration until 9 p.m. ET
to file a declaration detailing how it was trying to ensure the other
immigrants weren’t improperly sent to their home countries from
Ghana.
