The Supreme Court on Monday granted the Trump administration's request to stay a lower court injunction blocking them from deporting individuals to third countries without prior notice, voting 6-3 to allow the administration to proceed. At issue was a group of migrants challenging their removals to third countries, or countries that were not their country of origin.Lawyers for a group of immigrants in the U.S. had urged the Supreme Court earlier this month to leave in place a ruling from U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy, who previously ordered the Trump administration to keep in U.S. custody all migrants slated for deportation to a country not "explicitly" named in their removal orders known as a third-country deportation.Murphy, a federal judge in Boston, presided over a class-action lawsuit from migrants who are challenging deportations to third countries, including South Sudan, El Salvador and other countries, including Costa Rica, Guatemala and others that the administration has reportedly eyed in its ongoing wave of deportations.SUPREME COURT ALLOWS TRUMP ADMIN TO MOVE ON ENDING LEGAL PROTECTIONS FOR SOME VENEZUELAN MIGRANTSMurphy ruled that migrants must remain in U.S. custody until they can have the opportunity to conduct a "reasonable fear interview," or the chance to explain to U.S. officials any fear of persecution or torture should they be released into the country.Murphy stressed his order does not bar Trump "from executing removal orders to third countries." Instead, he emphasized in an earlier order, "it simply requires" the government "to comply with the law when carrying" out such removals under the U.S. Constitution and the Trump administration's wave of eleventh-hour removals and deportations.In appealing the case to the Supreme Court, U.S. Solicitor General D. John Sauer argued that Judge Murphy's ruling had blocked them from removing "some of the worst of the worst illegal aliens," including a class of migrants sent to South Sudan earlier this year without due process or notice.He reiterated in a separate order that the migrants remain in U.S. custody at a military base in Djibouti until each of them could be given a "reasonable fear interview," or a chance to explain to U.S. officials any fear of persecution or torture, should they be released into South Sudanese custody.US JUDGE ACCUSES TRUMP ADMIN OF MANUFACTURING CHAOS IN SOUTH SUDAN DEPORTATIONS, ESCALATING FEUDThe Supreme Court update comes after a flurry of lower court challenges aimed at blocking Trumps immigration crackdown in his second White House term.U.S. judges have repeatedly ruled that the Trump administration has violated due process by failing to notify the migrants of their imminent removals, or afford them any opportunity to challenge their deportations in court a view reiterated, albeit narrowly, by the Supreme Court four separate times since Trump took office.White House officials, meanwhile, have blasted so-called "activist" judges as attempting to enact a political agenda, and have repeatedly rejected the notion that illegal immigrants are not entitled to due process.This is a breaking news story.
