Supreme Court Revives Deportations

The Supreme Court temporarily allowed the Trump administration to keep deporting migrants to countries other than their homelands while the policy is challenged. Lower courts had required officials to give deportees notice and a real chance to argue that a destination country could expose them to persecution or torture. The administration said the removals are lawful and critical when home countries will not take people back. Immigrant-rights lawyers said the policy denies due process and can send people into persecution, torture, detention, or other serious harm. The unsigned order gave no reasoning, and the court’s three liberal justices dissented. The court will hear full arguments in December.
