Breaking: US Supremes Greenlight Trump's 3rd Country Deportations

In a partisan 6-3 decision, the US Supreme Court has given the green light for the Trump administration to resume the controversial practice of deporting undocumented migrants to third countries, bypassing lower court injunctions and due process protections for the unlucky souls tagged for removal.

According to the top court's unsigned order, the Justice Department successfully appealed to lift an April stay imposed by District Judge Brian Murphy, who had ordered a halt to third country deportations, arguing that migrants were not given a fair chance to contest their expulsions.

However, Murphy's ruling only required the government to grant migrants at least 15 days to challenge their deportation and provide evidence of potential risks of torture or death. But with the Supreme Court's decision, the Department of Homeland Security is now free to deport those deemed undesirable without advance notice or any legal hearings.

This reheated controversy involves the deportation of eight men, including two from Myanmar, two from Cuba, a Vietnamese man, a Laotian, a Mexican, and one from South Sudan, who reportedly have criminal records. The Trump administration insists on the necessity of third country deportations since certain countries refuse to take back their citizens accused of various infractions.

Justice Sonia Sotomayor, who penned the dissent, accused the administration of "flagrantly unlawful conduct" that puts thousands of lives at risk by exposing them to the threat of torture or death. Sotomayor called out the government for its "flippant disregard" for law and due process, effectively sending undocumented immigrants out the country "without notice or an opportunity to be heard."

Critics argue that the Trump administration is circumventing legal norms and making a mockery of human decency by expelling migrants to third countries, where their safety cannot be guaranteed. This decision leaves the door open for potentially dangerous deportations to nations like El Salvador, South Sudan, and Libya, among others, without any regard for the individuals' wellbeing.

But the Department of Homeland Security sees it differently. In a victory for "the safety and security of the American people," third country deportations of criminal aliens can proceed, paving the way for faster and more efficient removal of undocumented immigrants who have overstayed their welcome in the land of the free.
