Supreme Court says Trump admin. can deport migrants to countries not their own

By Andrew Chung Sept 29 (Reuters) - The US Supreme Court on Tuesday let President Donald Trump's administration resume deporting migrants to countries other than their own without offering them the chance to show the harms they may face, bolstering a tool his administration has used for rapid expulsions as part of his immigration crackdown. The court granted the Justice Department's emergency request to put on hold Boston-based US District Judge Brian Murphy's ruling that the Department of Homeland Security's policy to remove migrants to so-called third countries is unlawful. The court also agreed to hear arguments in the dispute in December, with a formal ruling on policy to follow. The court has a 6-3 conservative majority. Its three liberal justices dissented from the decision to let the deportations immediately resume pending the final outcome of the litigation. Murphy's ruling came in a class-action lawsuit filed by immigrant rights groups on behalf of migrants seeking to prevent the US government from sending them to third countries without notice and a chance to assert the harms they could face. More than 25,000 migrants have been deported to 29 countries under the policy implemented last year, according to a tally by human rights groups, with the vast majority going to Mexico. The policy is one of a number of measures the administration has taken in its pursuit of Trump's goal of mass deportation. The Republican president has enforced a sweeping crackdown on immigration among his top priorities since returning to office last year. The administration has carried out third-country deportations to politically unstable South Sudan, which the US State Department urges Americans to avoid due to the risks of crime, kidnapping and armed conflict, as well as Uganda, Equatorial Guinea, Liberia, the Central African Republic, and other nations. The Supreme Court previously sided with the administration in the legal challenge, suspending a preliminary order that Murphy issued earlier in the case halting the removals.In another win for the administration, the Supreme Court subsequently lifted limits the judge had imposed to protect a group of men from being sent to South Sudan. The case began in 2025 after the Department of Homeland Security moved to step up deportations of migrants who cannot be returned to any country listed on their deportation orders. SWIFTLY REMOVED The policy provided that migrants could be swiftly removed without notice to third countries that have provided credible diplomatic assurance that they will not persecute or torture the individuals. For countries that have not provided such assurance, deportees would be notified of their destination and US authorities would assess the likelihood of persecution or torture only if the individual raises such fear on their own. In February, Murphy ruled that the policy violates immigration law procedures and due process protections under the US Constitution's Fifth Amendment. Due process generally requires the government to provide notice and an opportunity for a hearing before taking certain adverse actions. In its emergency filing to the Supreme Court, the Justice Department said third-country deportations are an essential tool to remove certain aliens, including some of the worst criminal aliens. But both Murphy and critics of the administration said the policy is also targeting migrants who had been granted legal protection from being sent back to their home countries. The policy has resulted in deportees being unlawfully transferred by third countries back to their home countries from which the US had already granted them protection, while others have been beaten, sexually assaulted, detained or have disappeared, the plaintiffs said in a court filing. The administration is ignoring the significant harm resulting from deporting thousands of longtime US residents, many with no criminal history, to third countries without regard to the persecution or torture they face there, the plaintiffs said. The Boston-based 1st US Circuit Court of Appeals upheld most of the judge's ruling on September 18. The case has been hotly contested since it began, and included findings by Murphy that the administration repeatedly violated, or attempted to violate his orders. Murphy in 2025 found that the administration had violated another order he issued requiring additional steps before attempting to send a group of migrants to South Sudan. More than a dozen UN human rights experts have written to the US government urging a halt to policies that they said on Monday were putting migrants at heightened risk of abuse, including torture and persecution, by deporting them to third countries. At gravest risk are children, women, persons with disabilities, victims of trafficking, LGBT persons, human rights defenders, stateless persons and other people in extremely vulnerable situations, they said, without documenting individual cases.

NATO Nation Seizes Iranian Airliner With Passengers Amid Escalation Tensions | Watch

An Iranian passenger aircraft operated by Caspian Airlines was stopped at Istanbul Airport after Turkish bailiffs reportedly boarded the Boeing 737 and served an order linked to an unpaid debt of around 3 million. The aircraft was preparing to depart with passengers on board when authorities prevented it from taking off, leaving travellers caught in the middle of a financial dispute involving the Iranian airline. The incident comes as Iranian aviation faces mounting pressure from US sanctions targeting the countrys aviation sector. Restrictions have affected aircraft access, spare parts, financing and international operations, making it increasingly difficult for Iranian carriers to maintain international connections. But the Istanbul incident highlights a different kind of pressure: a commercial aircraft being physically grounded because of a financial claim. The reported 3 million dispute now puts the airline, aircraft and passengers at the centre of another challenge for Irans already constrained aviation network.

The website , which Trump introduced at Andrew W. Mellon Auditorium in Washington, features a chatbot-style interface that allows users to ask questions about government programs, benefits and services. The administration described America.gov as a front door to federal resources, consolidating information that is currently spread across dozens of agency websites. Its not just simply a website. Its a restoration of Americas founding promise, and its a reinvention of your government for the 21st century and beyond, Trump said at the rollout. The Trump Administration launches https://t.co/0QsU6cNcJ7 , a new AI government website that combines all government websites in one. It aims to make government-related errands an easy process. More on @Newsweek pic.twitter.com/dLNdCjNPdS Leonardo Feldman (@Leonardofeldman) September 29, 2026 The homepage states: America.gov uses AI to get simple answers only from official government sources. Its free to use, never includes ads, and keeps your privacy protected. The platform is free to use, requires no login and contains no advertising. Joe Gebbia, U.S. chief design officer, said America.gov is powered by Googles Gemini and Elon Musk s Grok. Trump was joined by Musk , administration officials and tech leaders for the announcement. Newsweek has reached out to the White House via email on Tuesday morning for comment. What Trumps America.Gov Executive Order Does Trump signed an executive order Tuesday that directs federal agencies to integrate their online services with America.gov, which the administration envisions as a single digital portal for accessing government information and completing transactions. The White House said the platform will eventually allow users to perform tasks such as renewing passports and enrolling in Medicare, while Login.gov, the federal governments existing sign-in system, will be incorporated into the service. The order applies to public-facing federal services used by more than 100,000 people annually, although IRS tax-filing services and certain national security-related functions are excluded. President Donald Trump speaks during an event to mark the launch of the America.gov website on September 29, 2026, in Washington. Who Is Joe Gebbia? The launch of America.gov also highlights the growing influence of Gebbia, the Airbnb co-founder whom Trump tapped in 2025 to lead the newly created National Design Studio. Established under the administrations America by Design initiative, the office is responsible for modernizing federal websites and digital services. The chatbot-based America.gov portal represents one of the most visible examples of Gebbias effort to apply Silicon Valley-style design principles to the federal government.
