| US Judge limits Trump-Era migrant deportation order from Guantanamo |
| 2025-05-02 |
| [KhaamaPress] A US judge has blocked the Trump administration’s push for rapid deportation of A U.S. federal judge in Massachusetts, Brian Murphy, has placed limits on a Trump administration directive to deport detained According to a Rooters report on April 30, Judge Murphy ordered that ...which are usually open to widely divergent definitions... considerations are not bypassed in deportation procedures. Murphy also warned that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) does not have the authority to transfer In recent years, the Guantanamo Bay facility—originally used to detain terror suspects post-9/11—has reportedly been repurposed to hold certain undocumented The use of Guantanamo for immigration detention has raised concerns among human rights advocates, who argue that such practices may violate both U.S. constitutional protections and international legal norms regarding asylum seekers and detainees. This ruling represents a significant check on executive power and reinforces the judiciary’s role in safeguarding individual rights, even in high-security environments. It also reflects growing legal challenges to immigration enforcement tactics employed in past administrations. As debates continue around U.S. immigration policies and detention practices, this decision sets a legal precedent emphasizing transparency, humane treatment, and the right to a fair hearing for all individuals, regardless of their immigration status. |

| #21 Having lost the last war, the Germans released jurisdiction over American military on their bases in Germany. The Italians changed sides in 1943 and retain jurisdiction on the installations in their borders. So, what American federal district court exercised jurisdiction on those German installations? There was none. |

| #19 Correct me if I'm wrong, please, but under W's tenure (and successors such as Obama) wasn't Guantanamo declared a Military District other than a Civilian District so there could be different procedures for those who were detained under military circumstances? Argue that if you will, but that would exclude a Civilian Judge from interjecting into a Military Jurisdiction? |

| #15 Policy doesn't trump rule of law. The Fifth Amendment doesn't apply only to US citizens. It clearly says: [...] nor shall any person [...] be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law. |

| #12 No judges. It's policy. |

| #11 So which judges can hear these cases? |

| #10 US Jurisdiction, yes. In the federal circuit the judge is a part of, no. |

| #6 You mean like an Eritrean truck driver who killed five in and hurt many in a Texas traffic cock up, IIUC he missed a turn and put on the brakes - on an Interstate - only getting a $7000 bond? |

| #5 If I was the DOJ I would tell the judge it is not part of his jurisdiction and to fuck off. |

| #3 A U.S. federal judge in Massachusetts...claims jurisdiction in a foreign land. Wonder if the 'potential treatment' is any less that normal American citizens in Chicago, Baltimore, Detroit..... |
