U.S. Supreme Court Approves Deportations to Third Countries
(MENAFN) On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court removed restrictions that had limited the Trump administration’s ability to deport immigrants to countries other than their own.
In a 6-3 decision dominated by the Court’s conservative majority, justices sided with the administration’s push to expedite deportations to third countries amid ongoing legal battles.
The three dissenting liberal justices voiced sharp opposition, with Justice Sonia Sotomayor cautioning, “In matters of life and death, it is best to proceed with caution. In this case, the Government took the opposite approach.”
The ruling received praise from the Trump administration. Tricia McLaughlin, the assistant secretary for Public Affairs at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), hailed the verdict as “a victory for the safety and security of the American people.”
She emphasized, “DHS can now execute its lawful authority and remove illegal aliens to a country willing to accept them,” adding with force, “Fire up the deportation planes.”
This decision overturns an April 18 order by U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy, a Biden appointee based in Boston, who had blocked the government from deporting migrants to third countries without allowing them adequate time to raise objections.
Last month, the Trump administration appealed to the Supreme Court to halt Judge Murphy’s injunction. U.S. Solicitor General D. John Sauer, representing the government before the high court, criticized the district court for obstructing efforts to deport what he described as “some of the worst of the worst illegal aliens.”
