The US Supreme Court revokes limits on the expulsion of immigrants to third countries

The United States Supreme Court has lifted, until further notice, limits on the expulsion of illegal immigrants to third countries. Against the advice of three progressive justices (out of a total of nine), the Court granted the Trump administration's request to stay a lower court ruling. The Court will hear the case on its merits in December. The government challenges a ruling by a federal judge in Boston in February that people facing deportation to a country other than their own must be able to demonstrate a risk of persecution or torture in that country.
