A judge for the US District Court for the Southern District of California on Monday denied a temporary restraining order (TRO) in a class action to stop the deportation of asylum seekers to a “safe third country.” The class includes those entering the country to seek asylum at a port of entry.
Under the “safe third country” provision, asylum seekers can be removed to other countries, like El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras, where their life or freedom would not be threatened while their claim is processed in the US.
