Supreme Court allows Trump administration to resume third-country deportations pending December arguments
The Supreme Court issued an unsigned emergency order on September 29, 2026, allowing the Trump administration to resume deporting migrants to countries other than their own without prior notice or opportunity to challenge removal. The court also agreed to hear oral arguments on the policy's legality in December, with a ruling expected by summer 2027. The three liberal justices dissented.
