Supreme Court allows deporting migrants to non-homeland countries
The Supreme Court is allowing the Trump administration to restart swift removals of migrants to countries other than their homelands. In a 6-3 ruling, justices lifted for now a lower court order requiring the migrants get a chance to challenge their deportations. The high court’s action comes after last month’s deportation of eight people to South Sudan before they had a chance to argue they could be in danger if sent away from their home countries. The migrants from countries including Myanmar, Vietnam and Cuba had been convicted of serious crimes in the U-S and immigration officials have said they were unable to return them quickly to their home countries.
