The US Supreme Court on Tuesday, 29 September 2026, allowed Donald Trump's administration to resume deportations of migrants to third countries without prior notice and without the opportunity to report threats.
The court granted an emergency request from the Justice Department and stayed a ruling by federal judge Brian Murphy of Boston, who had found the Department of Homeland Security's policy unlawful.
The decision was made by a conservative majority of 6 votes to 3. Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented.
The Supreme Court also agreed to hear arguments in the case in December, after which it will issue a final ruling.
The policy allows for the rapid expulsion of migrants, including those whose countries of origin refuse to accept them, to states with which the US has agreements. According to human rights advocates, since the measure was introduced, more than 25 thousand people have already been deported to 29 countries.
The Trump administration insists that the restrictions hindered the effective removal of criminals and other violators from the country. Opponents of the policy point to the risks of persecution and torture in the destination countries.
