Trump Seeks Supreme Court Approval for Migrant Policy
(MENAFN) U.S. Leader Donald Trump has submitted an appeal to the Supreme Court in a bid to restore a disputed immigration directive that permits the deportation of migrants to third-party nations, including volatile regions like South Sudan, according to a news agency’s Tuesday report.
This legal push is the administration’s latest move to reinstate a controversial policy that allows authorities to expel individuals not only to their native countries but also to unfamiliar states where they might encounter threats such as persecution or torture — all without advance notification or access to legal defense.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) unveiled this regulation soon after Trump took office. It grants immigration officers the power to relocate migrants to foreign countries, even if they lack familial or legal connections there.
Trump’s attorneys contend that this strategy is essential for tackling what they characterize as a mounting emergency involving unlawful crossings at the U.S.–Mexico border.
The Supreme Court appeal comes in response to a March decision by U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy, who prohibited the administration from deporting migrants to South Sudan without following appropriate legal procedures.
The judge mandated that affected individuals be given written alerts and a fair opportunity to present evidence demonstrating a legitimate fear of danger in the receiving country.
Appointed during the Biden era, Judge Murphy later criticized DHS for defying the court’s directive by attempting to carry out deportations outside regular working hours, a time when legal support is generally inaccessible.
