In a 6-3 ruling, the U.S. Supreme Court has allowed President Trump to resume the hasty transfer of immigrants to third countries, lifting a lower court order that ruled immigrants have the right to challenge their removal. The case stems from the Trump administration’s attempt last month to send eight individuals — mostly from Latin American and Asian countries — to South Sudan. But their plane was diverted to a U.S. military base in Djibouti after a judge intervened. The court’s three liberal justices issued a scathing dissent, accusing their right-wing colleagues of “rewarding lawlessness”. Justice Sonia Sotomayor warned the ruling puts “thousands [at] risk of torture or death”.
