Judge Victor Marrero of the Southern District of New York extends and modifies a temporary restraining order barring the Government from deporting five Afghan nationals — whom Project Rousseau, Inc. says face removal to Pakistan and onward delivery to the Taliban — to Pakistan, Afghanistan, or any third country pending further order, rejecting the Government's jurisdictional objections and finding the alleged failure to follow the Department of Homeland Security's third-country removal guidance likely unlawful. He directs Project Rousseau to amend its complaint, joining the Afghan nationals as plaintiffs and detailing individual facts and venue, by November 9, 2026.
