Supreme Court Clears Path for Trump’s Third-Country Deportation Policy

In a significant legal development, the U.S. Supreme Court has lifted a lower court’s restrictions on the Trump administration’s ability to deport migrants to third countries—nations other than their country of origin. The unsigned emergency order, issued on June 23, allows the administration to resume these deportations while legal challenges continue to unfold.

The decision reverses a ruling by U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy, who had mandated that migrants be given a “meaningful opportunity” to contest deportation if they feared torture or persecution in the destination country. The Trump administration had argued that this requirement was obstructing efforts to remove individuals—many of whom had been convicted of serious crimes—especially when their home countries refused to accept them.

The Supreme Court’s conservative majority did not provide a rationale for the decision, a common practice in emergency rulings. However, the court’s three liberal justices issued a scathing dissent. Justice Sonia Sotomayor criticized the move as a “gross abuse” of judicial discretion, warning that it could expose thousands to the risk of torture or death.

The case now returns to the lower courts, where broader questions about the legality and constitutionality of third-country deportations remain unresolved.
