The US Supreme Court has cleared the way for President Donald Trump’s administration to resume deportations of migrants to countries other than their homeland.
By a majority of 6-3, the justices reversed a lower court order requiring the government to give migrants a “meaningful opportunity” to tell officials what risks they might face in being deported to a third country.
The Supreme Court’s three liberal justices – Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson – issued a scathing dissent from the ruling.
The ruling hands the Republican president another victory in his pursuit of mass deportations.
