US Supreme Court allows Trump to continue deportation policy after judge labels it unlawful
The court has a 6-3 conservative majority. Its three liberal justices dissented from the decision to let the deportations immediately resume pending the final outcome of the litigation.
The US Supreme Court on Tuesday permitted the Trump administration to resume deporting migrants to countries other than their own, despite a Boston-based judge deeming the policy illegal. The court's 6-3 conservative majority decision means the Justice Department can continue expelling migrants using the third-country deportation tool, a key element of Trump's aggressive immigration crackdown.
Over 25,000 migrants have been sent to 29 countries under the policy, primarily to Mexico. The policy allows for swift removal without notice and the chance to assert fears of persecution or torture. The Supreme Court will review the dispute in December, with a final ruling expected.
