Supreme Court Allows Trump’s ‘Third Country’ Deportation Policy
AI SUMMARY

The U.S. Supreme Court has removed obstacles allowing the Trump administration to resume deporting certain immigrants to third countries while legal challenges proceed.

  • The U.S. Supreme Court granted an emergency request from the government to block a lower appeals court ruling.
  • The blocked appeals court ruling had found the third-country deportation process unlawful because affected individuals lacked a proper chance to raise safety risk concerns.
  • The Supreme Court announced it will hear oral arguments in December to issue a definitive ruling on the legal questions.
  • James Percival, general counsel of the Department of Homeland Security, welcomed the decision in a statement Tuesday.
  • Thousands of people have been sent to third countries such as South Sudan, Eswatini, and Rwanda since Trump's second term began in January 2025.
  • The Migration Policy Institute reported that about 15,000 people were deported to third countries in 2025, with Mexico receiving the majority.
  • Four unnamed immigrants challenged the policy, arguing they need a meaningful opportunity to claim protection against torture or persecution.
  • District Judge Brian Murphy and the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals previously sided with the plaintiffs, citing federal law preventing deportations to countries of likely persecution.
  • Solicitor General D. John Sauer stated that putting third-country deportations on hold created logistical problems, added expenses, and canceled a flight carrying 70 people with criminal convictions.
  • The Trump administration argued no individualized determination is needed because recipient countries assured they would not mistreat deportees.
  • The lead plaintiff, D.V.D. from Cuba, suffers from severe mental illness and fears being sent to a country lacking psychiatric treatment.
  • Plaintiffs allege that individuals previously deported to third countries have faced indefinite detention as well as physical and sexual abuse.
