The U.S. Supreme Court delivered a major ruling on Thursday that allows the Trump Administration to move forward with mass deportations, including to third countries.
In a 7-2 decision, the Court ruled in favor of the Trump Administration in a case involving the deportation of illegal immigrants to countries other than their home nations.
The ruling clarifies a prior Supreme Court decision issued on June 23, which also addressed deportations to third countries.
Justice Elena Kagan joined the Court’s six conservative justices in the majority, while Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented.
The unsigned order from the Court stated that its June decision applied to eight individuals currently being held at a U.S.-run facility in Djibouti.
This clarification rendered a lower court ruling by U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy unenforceable.
Murphy had argued that a May deportation flight violated his injunction and continued to claim the order remained active, per Trending Politics.
However, the Supreme Court said Murphy’s rulings were nullified by its stay, stating that “the May 21 remedial order cannot now be used to enforce an injunction that our stay rendered unenforceable.”
Justice Kagan, who had previously sided with the liberal justices on this issue, agreed with the Trump Administration in this latest clarification, citing the Court’s binding authority.
In a statement included in the order, Kagan wrote, “I do not see how a district court can compel compliance with an order that this Court has stayed.”
The eight individuals involved in the case all have serious criminal records, according to federal officials, and have remained detained on a U.S. military base in Djibouti since May.
Their legal representatives, the National Immigration Litigation Alliance, criticized the ruling, claiming it denied the men proper legal protections.
In a public statement, the group said the government had failed to determine whether the men faced a credible threat of persecution or torture if returned to the third country.
The Alliance claimed that all eight individuals had expressed fear of being harmed if deported and that the Court’s ruling allowed the government to bypass required procedures.
This decision follows another major legal victory for the Trump Administration just days earlier, also issued by the Supreme Court.
In that earlier ruling, the Court significantly limited the ability of federal district judges to impose nationwide injunctions that block presidential actions.
Nationwide injunctions are broad legal tools that halt the enforcement of executive orders across all jurisdictions in the country.
The Supreme Court ruled that these sweeping injunctions exceeded the legal authority that Congress granted to federal judges.
Justice Amy Coney Barrett wrote the majority opinion in that decision, with Justices Sotomayor, Kagan, and Jackson dissenting.
