Trump admin asks SCOTUS to authorize rapid migrant deportations to countries other than their own

The Trump administration is requesting the Supreme Court help it rapidly deport migrants to countries other than their own, after being blocked by a lower-court.

The Justice Department's request follows a separate Monday evening ruling from Murphy, rejecting the Trump administration's request that his injunction be lifted, in order for deportations to continue while the merits of his ruling are adjudicated. Due to Murphy's rejection, the Trump administration sought emergency relief from the Supreme Court, asking it to upend the injunction itself.

At the center of the Trump administration's request for relief from Murphy's injunction are as many as a dozen people from various countries, including Vietnam and Myanmar, who were allegedly ordered deported to South Sudan in violation of Murphy's earlier order.
