Trump Administration Asks Supreme Court to Resume Deportations to Third Countries
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump's administration requested on Thursday that the Supreme Court clear the way to continue the expedited deportations of immigrants to third countries with which they have no ties. The government sought an immediate suspension of lower court orders that ruled individuals must have the opportunity to contest their deportation to countries other than their home nations. The justices had previously allowed deportation flights to continue temporarily when the case came before them last year. Since then, an appeals court upheld a ruling from a Boston judge, which states that migrants must have a real chance to argue that deportation to a third country would expose them to risks of persecution or torture. The ruling did not absolutely prohibit such deportations but extended the process. The government argues that the decision has already led to the cancellation of a flight carrying 70 individuals with criminal records to three different countries.
