Story summary

A federal judge in New York temporarily blocked President Donald Trump’s administration plans to deport Afghans detained in the United States to Afghanistan or Pakistan on Tuesday, following concerns raised by advocates and dozens of members of Congress about the detainees' safety. Judge Valerie Caproni issued this order on November 3, 2026, which will expire on Saturday, with no deportations scheduled before then. The decision aims to protect Afghans who could face significant risks upon return to their home country.
