Supreme Court clears Trump administration to resume third-country deportations

The Supreme Court let the Trump administration resume deporting migrants to countries where they are not citizens, voting 6-3 to pause a lower-court restriction. Those third countries agree to accept people when their home nations do not, restoring a removal tool the administration had been blocked from using.

The ruling does not settle whether the policy is legal. More than 25,000 migrants have already been sent to 29 third countries, and the Supreme Court set arguments on the broader challenge for December.
