Supreme Court lets Trump resume third-country deportations

The US Supreme Court has allowed President Donald Trump to temporarily resume deporting people to countries other than their own. More than 25,000 people have been sent to 29 countries under the policy, which began last year, according to a count by human rights groups. The ruling is the latest development in a long legal battle over the practice, which critics call "third-country deportations." Under the policy, migrants may be sent to a nation that is not their homeland and where they have no ties. Separately, a federal judge appointed by Trump has permanently blocked the Justice Department from releasing the second volume of a report by former special counsel Jack Smith. Smith's two-volume report followed criminal investigations that led to two indictments against Trump after his first term. The first volume covered Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election. The second covered his retention of classified documents.
