Hi there,

We need independent media more than ever. When we cover war and peace, we’re not brought to you by the weapons manufacturers. When we cover the climate catastrophe, we’re not brought to you by the oil, gas and coal companies. When we cover inequality, we’re not brought to you by the banks and other financial institutions. We’re brought to you by you, the listener, the reader and the viewer. For the last time this month, a group of generous donors will TRIPLE all donations made today, which means your $15 gift is worth $45. If you want Democracy Now! to keep bringing you the stories that matter most, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much!

Supreme Court Will Allow Trump to Transfer Immigrants to Third Countries, at Least for Now

HeadlineJun 24, 2025

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.”
