@jerrod.zisser: 6/23/25 2:30PM PST BREAKING: The Supreme Court just gave Trump the green light to deport migrants to countries they’ve never even lived in—without giving them a chance to say they’re afraid of being tortured. In a 6–3 ruling, the justices lifted a federal order that had blocked “third-country removals” under Trump’s new policy. The case started when the Trump administration tried to deport a group of migrants—including people from Cuba, Laos, Mexico, and Vietnam—to South Sudan, one of the most dangerous countries in the world. A federal judge said that violated the Constitution because it didn’t give the migrants a chance to speak up or show evidence they might face persecution. The Trump White House claimed these individuals had committed serious crimes, and that their home countries refused to take them back—so they had no choice but to send them elsewhere. But that “elsewhere” includes war zones like Libya and South Sudan, where the U.S. itself tells Americans not to travel. Now, thanks to this Supreme Court decision, the U.S. government no longer needs to give migrants notice, legal counsel, or a hearing before flying them to a dangerous third country. Trump’s policy even allows deportation based on “diplomatic assurances” from foreign governments—even if those governments have a history of torture. The three liberal justices—Sotomayor, Kagan, and Jackson—dissented, warning this decision opens the door to mass removals without basic fairness.
