The U.S. Supreme Court has cleared President Donald Trump's administration to resume deporting migrants to third countries without offering them a chance to demonstrate potential harm, marking a significant victory for Trump's immigration policy. A previous judicial order requiring a 'meaningful opportunity' for migrants was overturned in this latest decision.

In a dissenting opinion, Justice Sonia Sotomayor criticized the court's decision as an abuse of discretion, emphasizing the risks migrants face in politically unstable regions. This decision has sparked criticism from immigrant rights advocates who argue that it denies migrants due process protections.

The focus of the dissent lies in a broader legal challenge to Trump's harsh immigration stance, as the administration argues such policies are necessary for managing crime by undocumented migrants. The case highlights ongoing tension between the judiciary and immigration policies under the Trump administration.
