Supreme Court allows Trump to restart deportations to non-origin countries

Supreme Court allows Trump to restart deportations to non-origin countries
The Supreme Court on Monday allowed the Trump administration to resume deportations of migrants to countries that were not their place of origin. The big picture: The decision puts on hold a court order that required adequate time for immigrants to be allowed to challenge their deportations. Driving the news: The Supreme Court didn't provide a detailed explanation in its unsigned order Monday, as is usually the case on the emergency docket.The court's three liberal judges, Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson, dissented."In matters of life and death, it is best to proceed with caution," the three justices wrote. "In this case, the Government took the opposite approach."Catch up quick: The Trump administration last month asked the Supreme Court to overturn a federal judge's order that blocked the government from sending undocumented immigrants to countries that were not their prior places of residence. U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy had determined that the administration "unquestionably" violated his ruling by swiftly deporting a group of immigrants to South Sudan.The judge had ruled that sending undocumented immigrants to countries they're not citizens of would "clearly violate" an earlier order against sending people to third countries.Murphy had found that the government did not give enough time for eight immigrants from various nationalities to contest their removal before they were put on a plane to South Sudan, ruling that the government's actions "were unquestionably in violation" of the court's order."What they're saying: "The ramifications of Supreme Court's order will be horrifying," Trina Realmuto, an attorney representing the migrants, said in a statement Monday."It strips away critical due process protections that have been protecting our class members from torture and death," Realmuto, executive director of the National Immigration Litigation Alliance, added.Go deeper: Trump admin asks Supreme Court to restart South Sudan deportations
