The US Supreme Court allowed third-country deportations to temporarily continue as an investigation revealed over 25,000 migrants were transferred under non-transparent agreements.

The US Supreme Court has temporarily permitted the administration of President Donald Trump to continue expedited deportations of migrants to third countries while legal challenges proceed. The court will determine whether asylum seekers must receive an opportunity to legally contest their removal before being transferred to nations with which they have no personal ties.

The ruling coincides with an international investigation led by Forbidden Stories, which revealed that at least 25,447 migrants were deported to 28 third countries under non-transparent bilateral agreements. Approximately 20,000 individuals were transferred by bus to Mexico, while over 5,000 were flown to other non-native nations.

More than a dozen United Nations human rights experts have urged Washington to immediately halt the transfers, warning that sending migrants to third countries exposes them to heightened risks of persecution and abuse.
