WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Tuesday let President Donald Trump’s administration continue swiftly deporting people to countries other than their own for now, while the justices consider whether the policy is legal.

On Tuesday, the Supreme Court permitted the Trump administration to resume quickly deporting individuals to nations other than their own as they evaluate the policy's constitutionality. The apparent 6-3 ruling temporarily lifts lower court constraints necessitating migrants to contest their deportation before being transferred to countries with no familial connections.
The Supreme Court is set to deliberate on the matter in December. If justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ketanji Brown Jackson had been present, they would have preserved the lower court order. The administration alleged the lower court order halted a deportation flight carrying approximately 70 people intended for three countries.
The conservative majority had previously aligned with the administration regarding the primary Trump administration policy, permitting deportation flights to temporarily proceed last year. The court announced it would deliberate on several inquiries: the policy's constitutionality, the lower courts' authority to review the case and issue a broad injunction, and additional matters determined to be pertinent by the government.
