Trump administration to ask supreme court to allow third-country deportation policy

The Trump administration will ask the US Supreme Court to permit the deportation of immigrants to countries other than their own. US Attorney General Todd Blanche announced that the Department of Justice is seeking help from the conservative-majority court after the Boston-based 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals invalidated the government's framework for rapid third-country deportations. This legal move is part of Donald Trump's mass deportation agenda following a lower court judge's rejection of the policy.
