The court issued a “summary and clarification” of the injunction requiring removal to a third country to include written notice to both the non-citizen and the non-citizen's counsel in a language the non-citizen can understand, and a meaningful opportunity and a minimum of ten days to raise a fear-based claim for Torture Convention protection (plus an additional 15 days if to seek reopening of immigration proceedings if initially denied).
