On Monday, the Supreme Court, with some judges disagreeing, allowed the Trump administration to quickly send migrants to countries that are not their home countries. This decision temporarily stops a previous court order that gave these migrants the chance to challenge their deportation.

The high court didn't fully explain its decision in the short document. Justice Sotomayor and the other liberal justices strongly disagreed with it.

Tricia McLaughlin, a spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security, suggested that deportations to other countries could start again soon. She said this decision was a success for the safety and security of Americans, and she also mentioned that planes for these deportations should be prepared.

However, a judge decided that a flight meant to send people back to South Sudan would not leave immediately.

The immigrants on the May flight were from countries such as Myanmar, Vietnam, and Cuba. They had committed serious crimes in the U.S., and immigration officials said they could not send them back to their home countries quickly.

Trina Realmuto, who is the director of the National Immigration Litigation Alliance, stated that if these individuals are returned to South Sudan, they might face imprisonment, torture, or even death.

Judge Brian E. Murphy in Boston confirmed that his previous order, which allows immigrants to discuss their concerns in court, is still active, even though they have been moved to a naval base in Djibouti.

This case is happening while President Donald Trump's government is making immigration rules much stricter. They have stated their intention to deport millions of people who are living in the U.S. without legal permission.

White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson stated that the President has the authority, granted by the Constitution and Congress, to make sure immigration laws are followed and to remove dangerous foreign individuals from the country. She also mentioned that the Supreme Court's decision confirms the President's power to remove illegal foreign citizens who have committed crimes, which helps to make the country safer.

In her 19-page disagreement, Sotomayor wrote that the court's action puts "thousands of people at risk of torture or death." She also stated that this gives the Trump administration a victory, even though they had previously gone against the lower court's instructions.

In her dissenting opinion, supported by Justices Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson, she wrote that the government has shown through its actions and words that it thinks it is not limited by law, and can deport anyone without telling them first or giving them a chance to speak.

South Sudan, a very new and poor country, has experienced a lot of violence since it became independent from Sudan in 2011. Rising political problems in the country now risk causing another civil war.

The Justice Department said in court papers that the government is thinking about the order to decide what to do next.

The Supreme Court has stopped Murphy's April decision. This decision allowed immigrants to argue that being sent to another country would put them in danger, even if they had already used all their legal options.

He discovered that the deportations to South Sudan in May were against his orders and instructed immigration authorities to allow people to discuss these concerns with their lawyers. Immigration officials housed the migrants in a converted shipping container in Djibouti, where both the migrants and the officers guarding them experienced harsh conditions.

The government has made agreements with countries like Panama and Costa Rica to house immigrants. This is because some countries do not accept their own citizens who are deported from the U.S. Sotomayor wrote that the migrants sent to South Sudan in May were given less than 16 hours' notice before they had to leave.

Murphy, who was appointed by President Biden, ruled that people sent to other countries must have a real chance to prove they could face serious danger of torture if they are sent there.

In another court decision related to the same case, the Trump administration had to bring back a gay man from Guatemala. He had been wrongly sent to Mexico, where he claimed he was raped and forced to pay money. This was the first known person to be returned to the U.S. after being deported since the start of Trump's second term.

The judges dealt with a similar situation when Trump wanted to send Venezuelans, who were thought to be gang members, to a famous prison in El Salvador. These people had very little chance to legally object to being sent away.

However, in that situation, the Supreme Court stopped deportations, referring to an old 18th-century wartime law. They said that migrants must have enough time to challenge their deportation in court before being sent out of the country.

The court, which has mostly conservative judges, has supported Trump in other immigration cases. This allowed his administration to stop temporary legal protection for nearly a million immigrants.
