Supreme Controversy: U.S. High Court Greenlights Third-Country Deportations

The U.S. Supreme Court has approved President Trump's request to resume deporting migrants to third countries, eliminating a mandate to provide them a chance to explain potential harms they could face. This decision reverses an order by U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy, raising concerns among immigration advocates.

In a dissenting opinion, Justice Sonia Sotomayor criticized the ruling as a significant misuse of judicial power. She suggested that the court is more comfortable with potential suffering in obscure regions than addressing constitutional due process rights.

Immigrant rights groups, alongside the National Immigration Litigation Alliance, assert that this decision removes crucial protections. The administration argued that expedited removals are necessary for migrants with serious criminal records, citing diplomatic assurances for safety. The legal debate continues amidst ongoing challenges to Trump's immigration policies.
