Immigrants from Cuba, Honduras, Ecuador, and Guatemala have sued the Trump administration in a national class action. The lawsuit challenges the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) policy of deporting noncitizens to countries the government never raised as possible countries of removal during their immigration proceedings, without any notice or the opportunity to contest removal due to a fear of persecution, torture, and even death if deported. Plaintiffs argue the policy violates the Administrative Procedure Act and the Fifth Amendment Due Process Clause.
