The Supreme Court on Tuesday allowed President Donald Trump's administration to resume rapidly deporting individuals to countries other than their own, pending a legal review of the policy. The 6-3 ruling temporarily suspends lower court mandates that require migrants to have an opportunity to object before being sent to countries they have no connections to.
The case will be heard by the justices in December. If Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ketanji Brown Jackson had been present, they would have maintained the lower court order's validity. The Trump administration stated last week that the lower court's order led to the cancellation of a deportation flight carrying approximately 70 people bound for three countries.
The conservative majority has previously aligned with the administration on this core policy, which permitted deportation flights to continue temporarily last year. The court affirmed its intention to examine several questions, including the policy's legality, the lower courts' authority to consider the case and issue a broad injunction, as well as other issues deemed pertinent by the government.
