US Supreme Court allows Trump to resume deportations to third countries

The United States Supreme Court has paved the way for the administration of President Donald Trump to reproduce the deportations of migrants to countries other than their homeland.

By a majority of 6-3, the judges reversed an order from the lower court forcing the government to give migrants a “significant opportunity” to tell the managers what risks could be expelled to a third country.

The three liberal judges of the Supreme Court issued a scathing dissent from the decision in the case of eight migrants, recognized as guilty of serious crimes in the United States, which were withdrawn on a plane for South Sudan in May.

The decision gives the Republican President another victory in his quest for mass deportations.

The case includes a group of migrants from Myanmar, South Sudan, Cuba, Mexico, Laos and Vietnam, which were expelled by the Trump administration two months ago in a plane towards South Sudan.

The American district judge based in Boston, Brian Murphy, made the ordinance that migrants had to be authorized to contest their referral to third countries.

Judge Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson criticized the decision of the majority on Monday, calling “a raw abuse”.

“Apparently, the court finds the idea that thousands of people will suffer from violence in the premises of Farflung more acceptable than the distant possibility that a district court has exceeded its reparation powers when it ordered the government to provide an opinion and a process to which the complainants are constitutionally and statutory authorized,” wrote Sotomayor.

“This use of discretion is as incomprehensible as it is inexcusable.”
