Supreme Court says Trump can keep sending migrants to 'third countries'

Original version ·

The highest court in the land just pressed pause on a lower court ruling, meaning the administration’s controversial deportation policy stays in play for now.

So, the Supreme Court Supreme Court just punted a major decision down the road until December. The debate is about whether the current administration can keep flying people to countries that aren't their home turf.

A lower court judge had previously slammed the brakes on this, arguing that people deserve a fair chance to say, 'Hey, I might get tortured if you send me there.' But the administration argued that this is a necessary tool for their deportation operations and that the lower court’s interference was causing a logistical nightmare.

For now, the policy stays active while the justices decide if this whole 'third-country' shuffle is actually legal. It turns out that getting rid of people is a lot easier when you don't have to check if the destination is safe first.
