US Supreme Court lets Trump resume deporting migrants to countries not their own
Summary
The US Supreme Court has allowed Donald Trump’s administration to resume deporting migrants to third countries without giving them a chance to argue they could face harm. The justices will hear the case in December after lower courts ruled the policy unlawful.
Key Points
- The Supreme Court granted the Justice Department’s emergency request to pause a Boston judge’s ruling against the third-country deportation policy.
- The policy lets the administration deport migrants to countries other than their own, including places such as South Sudan, Uganda and Liberia.
- Critics say the practice can expose migrants to persecution or torture and violates due process protections.
- The court will hear full arguments in December while the deportations can continue for now.
