The Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to resume deporting migrants to countries other than their home nations, handing the president a victory on immigration. The court will hear full arguments in December on whether the policy is legal and respects due process rights. The administration says the practice removes dangerous criminals when home countries refuse deportations. Immigrant advocates say it has led to detainees facing torture, abuse, and wrongful deportations.
