Reuters: The US Supreme Court on Tuesday let President Donald Trump’s administration resume deporting \u200bmigrants to countries other than their own without offering them the chance to show the harms they may face, bolstering a tool his administration has used for rapid \u200cexpulsions as part of his immigration crackdown.<\/p>\n

The court granted the Justice Department’s emergency request to put on hold Boston-based US District Judge Brian Murphy’s ruling that the Department of Homeland Security’s policy to remove migrants to so-called third countries is unlawful. The court also agreed to hear arguments in the dispute in December, with a formal ruling on the policy to follow.<\/p>\n

The court has a 6-3 conservative majority. Its three liberal justices dissented from the decision to let the \u200bdeportations immediately resume pending the final outcome of the litigation.
\nMurphy’s ruling came in a class-action lawsuit filed by immigrant rights groups on behalf of migrants seeking to prevent the US \u200bgovernment from sending them to third countries without notice and a chance to assert the harms they could face.<\/p>\n

More than 25,000 migrants have been deported \u2060to 29 countries under the policy implemented last year, according to a tally by human rights groups, with the vast majority going to Mexico.
\nThe policy is one of a number of measures the administration \u200bhas taken in its pursuit of Trump’s goal of mass deportation. The Republican president has enforced a sweeping crackdown on immigration \u2014 among his top priorities \u2014 since returning to office last year.<\/p>\n

The administration has carried \u200bout third-country deportations to politically unstable South Sudan, which the US State Department urges Americans to avoid due to the risks of crime, kidnapping and armed conflict, as well as Uganda, Equatorial Guinea, Liberia, the Central African Republic, and other nations.<\/p>\n

Department of Homeland Security General Counsel James Percival welcomed the court’s decision.
\n“A bad day for criminal illegals and open-borders activists alike,” Percival wrote on social media.
\nTrina Realmuto, a lawyer for the plaintiffs at the National Immigration Litigation Alliance, said the court has “allowed \u200bthe administration to resume sending people to third countries where they face persecution or torture. That is a devastating result for people who may be put on a plane before they ever have \u200bnotice or an opportunity to raise a fear claim.”<\/p>\n

In February, Murphy ruled that the policy violates immigration law procedures and due process protections under the US Constitution’s Fifth Amendment. Due process generally requires the government to provide notice \u200cand an \u2060opportunity for a hearing before taking certain adverse actions.<\/p>\n

The Supreme Court, which has allowed a number of Trump’s hardline immigration policies, previously sided with the administration in the legal challenge, suspending a preliminary order that Murphy issued earlier in the case halting the removals. In another win for the administration, the Supreme Court subsequently lifted limits the judge had imposed to protect a group of men from being sent to South Sudan.<\/p>\n

The case began in 2025 after the Department of Homeland Security moved to step up deportations of migrants who cannot be returned to any country listed on their deportation orders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
