Trump officials ask Supreme Court to allow third-country deportations
Attorney General Todd Blanche is seeking to overturn a lower court ruling that had halted deportations of immigrants to countries other than their own.
The Trump administration has asked the US Supreme Court to allow it to resume deporting immigrants to countries other than their own, according to The Guardian, in the latest move to advance a contested element of its mass deportation agenda.
US Attorney General Todd Blanche said Thursday morning that the Department of Justice would seek the Supreme Court's intervention, coming nearly a week after a lower court judge rejected the so-called third-country deportation policy.
A contested deportation policy
Third-country deportations involve removing immigrants to nations other than their home country, a practice that has drawn legal challenges over concerns about due process and the conditions migrants may face in receiving countries.
The administration's request goes to a Supreme Court with a conservative majority, and the outcome could have significant implications for how the policy is applied going forward.
The available report did not specify which lower court issued the original ruling or detail the administration's specific legal arguments.
