Supreme Court Backs Third-Country Deportations

The order, confirmed by Al Jazeera, came on an emergency petition — meaning the Court acted before full briefing and oral argument. The Justices are expected to hear the underlying case in December.

Third-country deportation is not a minor logistical detail. It means a migrant from, say, Honduras could be removed to a country with which they have no connection, no language, no legal status, and potentially no safety.

Until December's arguments, the deportations continue under authority granted on an emergency basis.
