The Supreme Court on Thursday handed President Donald Trump a key immigration win, clearing the way for the deportation of eight migrants from Djibouti to South Sudan, a country not listed in their original removal orders.
In a short, unsigned opinion, the justices granted the administration’s request to “clarify” a prior ruling, confirming that their June 23 stay of a lower court injunction also blocked a follow-up remedial order issued May 21.
That remedial order had required the government to give the migrants notice and a chance to raise claims under the Convention Against Torture before being sent to a third country.
“The motion for clarification is granted,” the court wrote. “The May 21 remedial order cannot now be used to enforce an injunction that our stay rendered unenforceable”.
Liberal Justice Elena Kagan also sided with the conservative wing of the court.
Justice Elena Kagan, a member of the court’s liberal wing, supported the decision. She wrote a brief concurring opinion noting that she had disagreed with the Supreme Court’s original decision to allow the third-country removals to continue.
“But a majority of this court saw things differently, and I do not see how a district court can compel compliance with an order that this court has stayed,” she wrote.
Attorney General Pamela Bondi celebrated the decision in a post on social media Thursday afternoon.
“Yet another rogue district judge has been rebuked by the Supreme Court thanks to the tireless work of dedicated DOJ attorneys,” Bondi said on X, adding that President Donald Trump “will continue to exercise his full authority to remove killers and violent criminal illegal aliens from our country.”
Trump’s winning streak continues.
