Supreme Court lets Trump administration resume deportations to third countries without notice

Washington — The Supreme Court on Monday lifted a lower court order that prevented the Trump administration from deporting migrants to countries that are not their places of origin without first giving them the chance to raise fears of torture, persecution or death.

The order from the high court is a victory for the Trump administration, which has faced recent setbacks from the justices in its efforts to swiftly deport migrants as part of its crackdown on immigration. The court said in a pair of earlier decisions arising from other emergency appeals that migrants facing deportation under a wartime law must receive notice and an opportunity to challenge their removals in court.

Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented from the court's decision Monday regarding third country removals.
