The Trump administration announced plans to petition the US Supreme Court to uphold a controversial policy permitting the deportation of immigrants to nations other than their country of origin. This legal maneuver represents the latest attempt to advance former President Donald Trump’s broader agenda for large-scale deportations.
Todd Blanche, the US Attorney General, confirmed on Thursday that the Department of Justice would seek intervention from the conservative-majority high court. The request follows a ruling by a lower court judge last week, which struck down the policy.
Does anyone actually think the Supreme Court will block this? Conservative majority and all?
Wait, sending people to a third country with no ties? That sounds legally dubious even for this level of executive overreach.
This is exactly what they promised. The Supreme Court blocking a lower court ruling seems standard for this administration now.
