   U.S. immigration officials may deport migrants to countries other than   
   their home nations with as little as six hours’ notice, a top Trump   
   administration official said in a memo, offering a preview of how   
   deportations could ramp up.   
      
   U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement will generally wait at least 24   
   hours to deport someone after informing them of their removal to a so-   
   called “third country,” according to a memo dated Wednesday, July 9, from   
   the agency’s acting director, Todd Lyons.   
      
   ICE could remove them, however, to a so-called “third country” with as   
   little as six hours’ notice “in exigent circumstances,” said the memo, as   
   long as the person has been provided the chance to speak with an attorney.   
      
   The memo states that migrants could be sent to nations that have pledged   
   not to persecute or torture them “without the need for further procedures.”

   The new ICE policy suggests U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration   
   could move quickly to send migrants to countries around the world.   
      
   The Supreme Court in June lifted a lower court’s order limiting such   
   deportations without a screening for fear of persecution in the destination   
   country.   
      
   Following the high court’s ruling and a subsequent order from the justices,   
   the Trump administration sent eight migrants from Cuba, Laos, Mexico,   
   Myanmar, Sudan and Vietnam to South Sudan.   
      
   The administration last week pressed officials from five African nations –   
   Liberia, Senegal, Guinea-Bissau, Mauritania and Gabon – to accept deportees   
   from elsewhere, Reuters reported.   
      
   The Washington Post first reported the new ICE memo.

   The administration argues the third country deportations help swiftly   
   remove migrants who should not be in the U.S., including those with   
   criminal convictions.

   Advocates have criticized the deportations as dangerous and cruel, since   
   people could be sent to countries where they could face violence, have no   
   ties and do not speak the language.   
      
   Trina Realmuto, a lawyer for a group of migrants pursuing a class-action   
   lawsuit against such rapid third-county deportations at the National   
   Immigration Litigation Alliance, said the policy “falls far short of   
   providing the statutory and due process protections that the law requires.”   
      
   Third-country deportations have been done in the past, but the tool could   
   be more frequently used as Trump tries to ramp up deportations to record   
   levels.   
      
   During Trump’s 2017-2021 presidency, his administration deported small   
   numbers of people from El Salvador and Honduras to Guatemala.   
      
   Former President Joe Biden’s Democratic administration struck a deal with   
   Mexico to take thousands of migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and   
   Venezuela, since it was difficult to deport migrants to those nations.
