Deportations to Third Countries Can Resume
The ruling clears the way for removals after the Justice Department said a pause had blocked deportations to countries that were not their own.
- The Supreme Court allowed the administration to resume deporting migrants to third countries on Tuesday, pausing a lower court ruling that had declared the policy unlawful.
- Aiming to accelerate removals, the administration implemented this policy last year as part of its broader immigration crackdown, bypassing standard due process protections for asylum seekers.
- Previously, Judge Brian Murphy blocked the policy, ruling it violated Fifth Amendment due process protections and ignored significant harm migrants might face in third countries.
- Before the legal pause, over 25,000 migrants were deported to at least 29 countries under this policy, with advocates noting many were sent to unstable nations like South Sudan.
- The Supreme Court will hear arguments in December, while the Justice Department defends the practice as an essential tool for removing criminal aliens.
