US EditionSupreme Court allows Trump to restart swift deportation of migrants away from their home countries
- On Monday, June 23, 2025, the U.S. Supreme Court voted 6-3 to permit the Trump administration to continue deporting migrants to third countries—places other than their home nations—without providing advance notice or allowing them to contest their removal.
- This reversed a lower court injunction that required migrants be given time to contest potential harm, amid ongoing political tensions over mass deportation policies and migration increases.
- Deportations have resulted in migrants being sent to nations such as El Salvador, Libya, and South Sudan—places often experiencing political turmoil or armed conflict—raising concerns about their protection and legal entitlements.
- In fiscal year 2024, the Trump administration deported over 270,000 migrants, focusing largely on those with serious criminal backgrounds; however, immigrant advocates and dissenting Supreme Court justices warn that such policies may infringe on due process protections.
- The ruling enables the administration to accelerate mass deportations per its enforcement goals, but legal challenges and dissent from liberal justices led by Sonia Sotomayor continue over due process concerns.
