The U.S. Supreme Court has allowed the federal government to restart deporting migrants to countries other than their home nations, a move that reverses protections imposed by lower courts. This ruling permits the administration to send migrants even to nations where they lack citizenship or established ties, raising fresh concerns about their safety.
The decision came through an unsigned order released Monday, in which the Court's conservative majority lifted a lower court injunction that had blocked such deportations. The lower court had required the government to ensure migrants would not face torture or death upon being sent to third countries. However, the Supreme Court did not provide a detailed explanation for its ruling, reported The Guardian.
