President Trump's administration has petitioned the Supreme Court to approve a policy allowing deportation of immigrants to countries not their own or which they have legal status in. This controversial approach, criticized for lacking proper notification and opportunity for defense against potential persecution, drew attention after attempts to deport detainees to South Sudan. The decision follows a ruling by US District Judge Murphy blocking such deportations, requiring written notice and an opportunity to contest removals based on fears of torture or persecution.
The appeal arrived at the Supreme Court days after the policy drew significant attention when the administration attempted to transfer detainees to war-torn South Sudan without a meaningful opportunity to contest their removal to a place where they might face torture.
The United States is facing a crisis of illegal immigration, in no small part because many aliens most deserving of removal are often the hardest to remove, the Department of Justice told the Supreme Court.
US District Judge Brian Murphy in March blocked the administration from deporting migrants to countries other than their own without offering written notice and giving the targeted immigrant a chance to demonstrate they have a credible fear of persecution or torture in that other country.
