Supreme Court lets Trump resume third-country deportations
The court said 25,000 migrants have already been sent to 29 countries under the policy, which critics say denies notice and a chance to object.
- On Thursday, the Trump administration filed an emergency appeal with the Supreme Court to resume third-country deportations after a federal appeals court blocked the policy last week.
- U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy previously ruled that the government must provide 'meaningful notice' and a 'meaningful opportunity' to challenge removals to countries where immigrants fear persecution or torture.
- Solicitor General D. John Sauer argued the injunction creates 'substantial logistical problems,' noting the cancellation of a flight carrying 70 people with criminal convictions to three different countries.
- Trina Realmuto of the National Immigration Litigation Alliance countered that the ruling 'does not prevent third-country removals; rather, it simply requires' lawful procedures, as Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson ordered a response by Monday.
- The court's upcoming decision will determine if the administration can maintain expedited removals without court-mandated safety screenings, a significant issue given that about 15,000 individuals were deported to third countries in 2025.
