The Supreme Court issued an unsigned order that, for now, allows the Trump administration to resume deporting some immigrants to third countries while the justices consider the case, according to the Daily Wire as cited by the source. The order pauses a lower-court ruling that had blocked the policy.
The Daily Wire reported the apparent vote was 6–3, with Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ketanji Brown Jackson noted as dissenting.
Lower-court block and prior interventions
The source says the order follows a ruling by a federal judge in Boston that had halted the third-country removals. Citing NPR, the source also says this is the third time the Supreme Court has set aside orders by U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy affecting the policy.
Government’s rationale and reported impacts
According to the source, the Department of Homeland Security warned that the lower-court rulings caused operational disruptions, including canceled deportation flights and diplomatic complications with receiving countries. In an emergency application to the Court, Solicitor General John Sauer wrote, “While certain aliens may benefit from stalling their removal, the Nation does not,” the source quotes.
Numbers and destinations the source reports
The source reports that roughly 25,000 people have been removed under the third-country framework to more than two dozen countries, naming Mexico most frequently, and citing Liberia and Guyana among the destinations. These figures could not be independently verified here.
What the Supreme Court will decide next
The source says the Court granted review and scheduled full arguments for December, with a decision expected next summer. According to the source, the justices plan to examine issues including whether lower courts had jurisdiction to grant nationwide relief and whether the policy is consistent with due-process protections and anti-torture obligations.
What we cannot yet confirm
Key details—including the vote count, specific lower-court proceedings, quoted statements, and removal totals—are reported by the source via the Daily Wire and NPR and were not independently verified.
