Supreme Court allows Trump administration to resume third-country deportations

Emergency request granted by justices

The high court agreed to an emergency request from the Trump administration. This action suspended a lower court ruling that required notice before sending migrants abroad. The conservative majority blocked safeguards that gave deportees time to raise persecution concerns.

Arguments scheduled for December

Justices will take their seats in December to hear arguments on the legality of these removals. They have not yet issued a final decision on the matter. Three liberal justices indicated they would not have granted the administration's request.
