For lawyers and advocates

The register of decided orders, what the courts have required, and the country material behind a fear-based claim.

The decisions

The register holds forty-seven orders, mostly from 2025 and 2026, in habeas and related proceedings arising from removals to countries other than the one named in the removal order. Each entry records the court, the date, the docket, the citation where one exists, the judge, the disposition, the nationality of the person, the third country proposed, the issues, a one-sentence holding, and, where the Coalition has a reservation about the summary, a caution saying so.

It can be filtered by issue: notice and an opportunity to present a fear-based claim, redetention after a long period on an order of supervision, mandatory detention, bond hearings, the reach of the jurisdictional bars, diplomatic assurances, and the rest.

What the country pages are for

A fear-based claim about a third country needs country evidence about that country, and the material is scattered. Each country page collects what has been reported about the arrangement, what has been reported about conditions, whether the state has accepted individual complaints under the Convention against Torture, whether it has ratified the regional instruments, and which bodies inside it take complaints. Where the Coalition has found no report or decision on a point, the page says so rather than leaving a silence that reads as a finding.

Two cautions about this material

The first is about summaries. A holding compressed to one sentence loses the procedural posture, and posture is frequently the whole case in this area. Enforcing an agreement to arbitrate is not enforcing an award; resisting removal is not obtaining release; a stay is not a merits ruling. The register names the disposition for that reason, but the order itself is the authority.

The second is about currency. This area has been moving monthly. An order that was good law when the Coalition read it may have been stayed, reversed or overtaken. Every entry links to a free public copy so that the citator work can be done properly, and it should be.
