Supreme Court Greenlights Trump's Deportation Policy to 'Third Countries'
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
The Supreme Court removed obstacles on Tuesday for the Trump administration to deport certain immigrants to 'third countries' with which they have no prior connection. The justices, with the dissenting votes from the three liberal judges on the court, granted an emergency request from the government to block a ruling from an appeals court that stated the current process is illegal because affected individuals do not have an adequate opportunity to raise concerns about safety risks, in violation of federal immigration law. In a brief unsigned order, the court also indicated it would hear oral arguments in December and issue a final decision on the legal issues raised in the litigation. Last year, the Supreme Court allowed the policy to proceed after lower courts had blocked it at an earlier stage of the litigation. Later, at the request of the Trump administration, it also clarified its decision, making it clear that it applied to eight men the government wanted to send to South Sudan.
