Key facts
- The Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to resume third-country deportations.

The U.S. Supreme Court has sided with the Trump administration, allowing it to resume deportations of migrants to countries that are not identified in their removal orders, according to NPR.
The high court granted a hold request that lets the administration deport migrants to countries they are not from without challenge, CNBC reported. The move clears the way for the practice, known as third-country deportations, to continue while the legal case proceeds.
The court also plans to hear full arguments on the case, according to NPR. Al Jazeera reported that those arguments are slated for December, indicating the justices will consider the underlying legal questions in more detail before issuing a final decision.
The action came in the form of an emergency petition, which allows the court to rule quickly on urgent requests ahead of a full hearing. In this instance, the ruling permits the administration to proceed with the deportations in the interim.
Third-country deportations involve sending migrants to nations other than their home countries and other than the countries named in their official removal orders. The Supreme Court’s decision means that practice can move forward for now.
Why it matters
The ruling affects how and where the U.S. government can deport migrants, potentially sending people to countries they are not from. Because the Supreme Court also plans to hear full arguments, its eventual decision could set lasting rules for immigration enforcement.
