Supreme Court Backs Trump: Migrants Can Be Deported to Third Countries

• Supreme Court backs Trump deportations
• Migrants to be sent to third countries
• Secret agreement with El Salvador

According to the EFE agency, the United States Supreme Court has given the green light to President Donald Trump’s administration to resume deportations of migrants to third countries.

The decision represents a significant victory for the White House, which remains committed to large-scale deportations.

This ruling reactivates the expulsion of eight migrants detained at an air base in Djibouti, including two Cubans and one Mexican.

The resolution suspends a prior order from federal judge Brian Murphy of Massachusetts, who had blocked the deportations.

Migrants at Risk of Torture

Murphy had argued that the government was violating regulations by deporting individuals without ensuring them proper legal defense.

The Supreme Court, in a brief and unsigned order, allowed the deportations to resume.

According to the Trump administration, the migrants were sent to Djibouti because their countries of origin refused to take them back.

Among the group are migrants from Cuba, Mexico, Laos, Myanmar, Vietnam, and only one from South Sudan.

Trump Deportations Include Dangerous Countries

The decision has raised concerns, as South Sudan is considered a high-risk country by the U.S. Department of State.

U.S. authorities advise against traveling there due to ongoing armed conflict.

In May, even non-essential diplomatic staff were withdrawn for safety reasons.

Judge Murphy’s ruling had blocked the deportation, arguing that the migrants could face torture.

Secret Deals with Central American Countries

He also warned about health and safety risks for the migrants and immigration agents being held in Djibouti.

Government attorneys claimed they were exposed to potential attacks from Yemen and were living in deplorable conditions.

In its argument before the Supreme Court, the administration described the migrants as responsible for “monstrous crimes.”

This narrative aligns with Trump’s broader strategy to criminalize migration.

The migrants were deported and held incommunicado

The case highlights a new clash between the judiciary and the Republican executive branch.

Trump has intensified his immigration policies, seeking agreements with third countries to speed up deportations.

The administration reached one such agreement with El Salvador, although it has not been publicly disclosed.

According to media outlets and human rights advocates, the Salvadoran government agreed to receive migrants for a period of one year.

Trump’s deportations violate human rights

In return, the United States would provide $6 million to the Central American nation.

Over 200 people have reportedly been sent to a mega-prison in El Salvador under this scheme.

Many of them are reportedly being held incommunicado, without contact with lawyers or family members.

The lack of transparency surrounding the agreement with El Salvador has sparked criticism from international organizations.
