An anti-Trump federal judge who already had ruled against the president’s deportation plans for illegal aliens twice, and was slammed by the Supreme Court in each case, had tried it a third time.

But on the third strike by Judge Brian Murphy, the fight didn’t get to the Supreme Court. It was the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that shut him down this time.

WorldNetDaily previously reported when Murphy ruled against Trump’s plan, and was reversed by the Supreme Court. He insisted then that his order still stood, triggering a nearly unprecedented opinion from the Supreme Court justices that they, in fact, had reversed his decision.

The fight is over the White House plan to deport illegal aliens to countries not designated in the illegal aliens’ paperwork, a “third-country” deportation.

A report at Fox News explains the 1st Circuit granted the Trump administration’s request to pause Murphy’s order.

Administration lawyers had charged that Murphy’s decisions were creating an “unworkable scheme” that would derail negotiations with other nations and derail “thousands” of deportation cases.

“They also argued Murphy’s ruling cut against two previous Supreme Court emergency stays last year, after the high court intervened and allowed the administration to continue its deportation policy, for now,” the Fox report said.

Murphy was appointed by Joe Biden, and repeatedly has pushed for the anti-law enforcement and pro-illegal alien agenda espoused under the Biden administration.

He had claimed the Trump administration “must first try to deport the migrants to their home country, or to a country of removal previously designated by an immigration judge,” Fox reported. Only then could migrants be sent to a third country, the claimed.

He insisted the third-country policy failed “to satisfy due process for a raft of reasons.”

Executive branch officials already have explained they have an “undisputed authority” to deport criminal illegal aliens to third countries if those nations will accept them.

“If these activist judges had their way, aliens who are so uniquely barbaric that their own countries won’t take them back, including convicted murderers, child rapists and drug traffickers, would walk free on American streets,” former Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin has explained.

Murphy’s comments come in a class-action case from migrants challenging decisions that they be deported.

Murphy’s activism on the issue has reached so far that he tried to issue orders regarding deportees who already had been removed from the U.S.
