The Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) on Monday allowed the Trump administration to quickly deport migrants to third countries, even if they have no ties there.
The conservative majority stayed a lower-court order that required the government to give migrants advance notice and time to object to their deportations by making use of anti-torture laws.
The Trump administration argued that the judge had interfered with the president’s authority over foreign policy.
The three liberal justices dissented, saying the decision stripped away due process and risked sending people into dangerous situations. Justice Sonia Sotomayor warned thousands could face violence or death.
The case involved migrants set for removal to places like South Sudan.
The Department of Homeland Security announced that it now plans to expedite deportations.
Legal battles over migrant rights continue, but the SCOTUS ruling empowers officials to mass deport people.
