The Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Trump administration’s policy, stating that it may deport convicted criminals to nations other than their home country.

The ruling by the conservative majority will remove the legal barriers blocking the path for millions of illegal aliens from being taken away from the United States.
Meanwhile, all three liberal justices dissented from the conservative majority, as Justice Sonia Sotomayor argued that “thousands will suffer violence in far-flung locales” as a result.
“In matters of life and death, it is best to proceed with caution,” Sotomayor stated. “In this case, the Government took the opposite approach.”

The news follows after U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy accused the Trump administration of violating his previous order to suspend deportation flights to third-party nations, previously explaining that individuals ordered for deportation should have 10 days to dispute the decision to allow “an opportunity to explain why such a deportation will likely result in their persecution, torture and/or death.”

Sauer explained that the Trump administration is attempting to deport “some of the worst of the worst,” which is why many of their home countries are “often unwilling to take them back.”
“The Trump Administration removed dangerous criminal illegal aliens from America in full compliance with all court orders,” White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson stated in May, when Murphy ordered the deportations to temporarily cease. “We are confident in the legality of our actions and do not apologize for acting to protect the American people.”
