WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Monday made it easier for the Trump administration to deport convicted criminals to "third countries" to which they have no previous connection.
The court in a brief unsigned order that did not explain its reasoning put on hold a federal judge's ruling that said those affected nationwide should have a "meaningful opportunity" to bring claims that they would be at risk of torture, persecution or death if sent to countries the administration has made deals with to receive deported immigrants.
As a result the administration will be able to quickly remove immigrants to such third countries, including South Sudan.
The three liberal justices on the conservative-majority court all dissented.
