The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday allowed President Donald Trump’s administration to resume deporting immigrants to countries with which they may have no connection, putting a lower-court pause on the removals on hold.
The unsigned emergency order gave no explanation or vote count. Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Ketanji Brown Jackson and Elena Kagan said they would have denied the administration’s request, according to Al Jazeera. The lower-court ruling had halted the removals over due-process questions. Arguments in the case are expected in December.
Separately, two dozen UN human rights experts said deportations to third countries should be stopped, warning they could lead to human rights violations and deadly consequences, the Guardian reported. The administration has made agreements with 35 nations to receive migrants, according to the Guardian.
