Supreme Court greenlights Trump’s controversial deportation tactic

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled on Monday that President Donald Trump can continue to deport migrants to countries not of their origin without limited notice.

Reporting the decision, Politico's Kyle Cheney said on X that the decision was 6-3 with liberal Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ketanji Brown Jackson dissenting.

Trump has sent migrants to Sudan in Africa who were born in other countries, like Vietnam.

This lifts a nationwide injunction pausing such deportations.

"The application for stay presented to JUSTICE JACKSON and by her referred to the Court is granted. The April 18, 2025, preliminary injunction of the United States DistrictCourt for the District of Massachusetts, case No. 25–cv–10676, is stayed pending the disposition of the appeal in the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit and disposition of a petition for a writ of certiorari, if such writ istimely sought. Should certiorari be denied, this stay shall terminate automatically. In the event certiorari is granted, the stay shall terminate upon the sending down of the judgment of the Court," the ruling said.
