The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday allowed President Trump's administration to keep deporting migrants to countries other than their own while the justices decide whether the policy is legal, according to the Associated Press.The court agreed to hear arguments on whether migrants must be given a meaningful opportunity to object before being sent to countries where they have no ties. Tuesday's order temporarily blocks an appeals court ruling against the policy.Federal attorneys told the court the lower-court decision forced the cancellation of a deportation flight carrying roughly 70 people headed to three countries. The justices had also allowed the flights to temporarily continue when the case first reached them last year.The administration has deported about 25,000 people to more than two dozen countries under a series of agreements, many of them not made public, including deals with Liberia and Guyana. Most have been sent to Mexico.Administration officials say the program targets people with final deportation orders who cannot be returned to their home countries or whose home countries refuse to take them back, including people with criminal convictions. Federal attorneys said the receiving governments provide assurances that deportees will not be persecuted or tortured.Attorneys for the migrants say some have been jailed in countries they had never heard of before arriving, and some face safety risks that leave them little choice but to return to the countries they fled. They say many have no criminal records and have been found to be at risk of torture or persecution.The case is part of the administration's broader immigration crackdown, which includes a pledge to deport millions of people living in the U.#SupremeCourt#immigrationr#BreakingNewsn #BreakingNews ...
