The US Supreme Court has ruled that the Trump administration may resume deporting immigrants to countries other than their homeland, commonly referred to as "third-country" deportations, without first providing an opportunity to contest the removals.
A six-justice conservative majority on the court temporarily lifted a lower court ruling that had required immigration authorities to give migrants sufficient advance notice and a chance to raise fears of torture or persecution in the country they would be sent to. The decision allows the administration's third-country removal policy to proceed while broader litigation over the practice continues.
The ruling is one of several recent developments involving the administration's immigration and legal policies. Separately, the administration has asked the Supreme Court to allow it to deny gender-affirming care to transgender individuals in federal prisons, with the solicitor general arguing that treatments such as hormone therapy and related accommodations could no longer be justified. That request remains before the court.
In another legal matter, the administration has agreed to stop contesting the disbursement of a $5 million verdict awarded to E Jean Carroll in her 2023 civil case against President Trump, a largely procedural step given the funds had already been distributed.
The Supreme Court's order on third-country deportations does not resolve the underlying legal questions about the policy's lawfulness, which remain subject to ongoing court proceedings.
