The Supreme Court will allow the Trump Administration to continue deporting undocumented immigrants convicted of crimes to third countries such as Sudan from the South, which will allow the Government to send migrants to countries with which they have no prior connection.
Key data
An order not signed blocked a May decision of a lower court, which prevented the Government from deporting migrants to third countries without giving them a “significant opportunity” to challenge their deportation.
Government lawyers argued that immigrants sent to third countries had been convicted of crimes, including robbery, murder and sexual assault, and that their countries of origin refused to accept them back.
The court did not give a reason for his decision, but Judge Sonia Sotomayor issued a dissident 19 -page opinion.
The other two liberal judges of the Supreme Court, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson joined Sotomayor to dissent.
Key history
The judicial battle on deportations to third countries began in May, after Trump’s government tried to send at least eight migrants convicted of various crimes to South Sudan. According to reports, the group included migrants from Cuba, Myanmar and Mexico. The district judge Murphy ruled last month that the government had to give to migrants who faced deportation to a third country a “significant” notice to protest against this process if they feared persecution. Sotomayor’s discrepancy indicated that this group received less than 24 hours of warning before their deportations to South Sudan began. The Government also tried to deport a group of 13 Laosiano, Vietnamese and Filipinos to Libya, where they would have arrived “amid the violence caused by the opposition upon arrival,” Sotomayor wrote, citing reports from Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Libya is controlled by two opposition governments, and Rubio declared in an affidavit that both “publicly rejected the use of the Libyan territory to accept deportees.” A rapid order of the District Court arrested the process.
What to pay attention to
The original group of eight migrants that the Administration tried to deport South Sudan was diverted to Yibuti, a small African nation that houses an important US military base. Migrants are housed in an installation built from a load container, together with the agents of the Customs Immigration and Control Service (ICE) in charge of expelling them from the United States, according to the Department of National Security in a judicial file in the early June. It is not clear when the Government will resume the deportation process to its original destination, South Sudan.
Cita Crucial
“By rewarding illegality, the Court undermines once again that fundamental principle,” Sotomayor wrote. “Apparently, the Court considers the idea that thousands of people suffer violence in remote places more acceptable than the remote possibility that a district court would be exceeded in its corrective powers by ordering the government to provide the notification and the process to which the plaintiffs have constitutional and legally and legally.
