Supreme Court Allows Trump Policy on Third-Country Deportations

The U.S. Supreme Court, in a 6-3 decision, allowed the Trump administration to resume deporting illegal immigrants to third countries willing to accept them, even if these are not the migrants' countries of origin. This temporarily halts a lower court order that had required the government to provide notice and an opportunity for migrants to contest deportation, particularly over concerns about torture or danger in the receiving country. The administration argued this ruling helps remove criminal aliens whose home countries refuse to take them back, addressing what it calls a crisis of illegal immigration. Liberal justices dissented, highlighting risks to migrants' safety and criticizing the lack of due process. The legal dispute began after a district judge blocked deportations to South Sudan, emphasizing procedural protections for affected migrants. The decision could lead to thousands of deportations, especially of those with criminal backgrounds, and is considered a major win for President Trump's immigration enforcement agenda.
