Supreme Court Permits Deportations to Conflict ZonesThe ruling allows deportations to countries like South Sudan with minimal notice, affecting hundreds of migrants held in harsh conditions.
- The Supreme Court blocked a lower court order requiring written notice and hearings before deporting migrants to third countries.
- Three liberal justices dissented, condemning the administration for ignoring previous court mandates.
- Migrants are currently detained in poor conditions at a military base in Djibouti, while South Sudan faces severe humanitarian crises.
- This ruling aligns with earlier decisions that enabled the government to revoke protected statuses and parole for hundreds of thousands of migrants.
The court is rewarding lawlessness with its decision.— Sonia Sotomayor, who criticized the court's decision and pointed out that the Trump administration has openly flouted previous court orders.
