Appeals court allows Trump to swiftly deport migrants to third countries
Source: The Hill
A federal appeals court ruled Monday that the Trump administration may keep swiftly deporting migrants to countries where they have no ties as a legal challenge unfolds.
The 2-1 vote on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 1st Circuit contained no explanation. The panel also expedited the schedule for the cases next stage.
The Trump administration as part of its aggressive immigration crackdown has ramped up sending migrants to places other than their home countries, known as third country removals. It has struck deals with Cameroon, South Sudan and Eswatini, among other countries, to take in deportees.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has defended the practice by saying it is aimed at removing some of the most barbaric individuals living illegally in the U.S. In court, the Trump administration has mainly argued that federal judges have no authority to intervene.

To answer your question, it seems like a poor choice at first glance, but (al least according to post #1), two out of those three judges were appointed by Biden, so there might be a reasonable explanation for the decision.
