Supreme Court Allows Trump to Resume Third-Country Deportations

In late September 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to resume deporting migrants to countries they have no connection to, while the court continues to weigh the policy. A lower judge had labeled the practice unlawful, but the Supreme Court's order lifts that limit for now.

The decision permits quick deportations to third countries to continue during the legal challenge. The court also denied a last-minute bid by Christa Pike to halt her execution.
