The Supreme Court will allow Donald Trump’s administration to deport immigrants to nations other than their home countries, paving the way for the government to rapidly remove people from the United States to places where they have no ties whatsoever, including war-torn nations such as Libya and South Sudan.
Justices on Monday issued a 6-3 decision granting Trump’s emergency request to overturn a federal judge’s restrictions on those removals, lifting a nationwide injunction that required the government to give criminal deportees “meaningful” notice to raise objections to their removal to countries where they could face torture or death.
