SCOTUS Removes Due Process Requirement On Deportations to Third Countries

The Supreme Court’s conservative wing on Monday allowed the Trump administration to conduct “third country removals,” deporting detainees to nations with which they may have no connection, and without a due process requirement put in place by a lower court. The court’s three liberals dissented.

The ruling suspends a lower court order which mandated a three-week period in which non-citizens would have to receive notice and an opportunity to challenge their removal to a third country before deportation.
