US Supreme Court allows temporary continuation of third-country deportations

The U.S. Supreme Court has permitted the Trump administration to temporarily proceed with expedited deportations of asylum seekers to third countries while judges assess the policy's legality. The court agreed to evaluate whether migrants are entitled to a formal opportunity to contest their removal before being dispatched to nations where they lack personal ties.

The decision comes alongside an international media investigation led by Forbidden Stories, which documented that at least 25,447 migrants were transferred to 28 non-native countries under confidential bilateral arrangements. The data indicates roughly 20,000 individuals were sent by bus to Mexico, alongside over 5,000 sent on overseas flights.

In response to the policy, more than a dozen United Nations human rights experts called on Washington to suspend the practice, warning that deportees face heightened risks of torture and persecution.
