The U.S. Supreme Court lifted a lower court's restrictions on 'third-country removals,' allowing the Trump administration to deport migrants to countries other than their own while it considers the case's merits in December. Democratic lawmakers, including Rob Menendez and Lois Frankel, criticized the ruling as 'indefensible' and called for Congress to enact protections ensuring due process and safety reviews before such deportations. The administration argues third-country deportations are necessary because some home countries refuse to accept returning migrants.
