US Supreme Court Allows Trump Administration to Deport Immigrants to Third Countries
Washington:The US Supreme Court has allowed the Trump administration to proceed with deporting immigrants to third countries, according to US media reports.
The media reports said the one-page emergency order did not carry the signature of any individual justice, and no formal vote was held on the matter.
The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear arguments in December on the legal status of the Trump administration’s third-country deportation policy. A final ruling in the case could be issued next year.
An attorney representing the Department of Homeland Security described the court’s order as a victory for the Trump administration.
The development comes as US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is reportedly planning to recruit around 5,000 additional personnel as part of efforts related to forced deportations.
