BOSTON, ⁠Sept 18 (Reuters) - A ⁠federal appeals court ‌on Friday rejected a Trump administration policy allowing ​for the ⁠rapid deportation ⁠of migrants to countries ⁠other than ‌their own without ⁠providing them a chance ​to ‌raise concerns they ⁠have for ​their safety.

A three-judge panel of ⁠the Boston-based 1st ​U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals largely upheld ⁠a February ruling by a lower-court judge that declared ​the ⁠U.S. Department of ​Homeland Security's ‌policy was unlawful.
