Dissident justice warns that judicial actions expose “thousands to the risk of torture or death.”
A Supreme Court divided has allowed the administration of the president of the United States, Donald Trump, to restart the rapid removal of migrants to different countries of his homeland, raising a court order that requires them to have the opportunity to challenge deportations.
The majority of the Superior Court did not detail its reasoning in the brief order issued on Monday, as is typical in its emergency file. The three liberal judges dismit.
In May, immigration officials put eight people in a South Sudan plane, although they were diverted to a naval base in the USA. In Djibouti after a judge intervened.
Refugees and migrants from countries such as Myanmar, Vietnam and Cuba had been convicted of violent crimes in the United States. Immigration officials have said that they could not quickly return them to their countries of origin.
The case occurs in the midst of broad immigration repression by the Trump administration, which has committed to deporting millions of people who live undocumented in the United States.
In a 19 -page scathing dissent, liberal justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote that the court action exposes “thousands to the risk of torture or death.”
“The Government has made clear in the word and the writing that is felt without restrictions by law, free to deport anyone anywhere without prior notice or the opportunity to be heard,” he wrote in the dissent, to which the other two liberal judges, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson joined.
The lawyers of some of the migrants who had been on the South Sudan flight said they would continue to press their case in court. “The ramifications of the Order of the Supreme Court will be horrible,” said Trina Realmuto, executive director of the National Alliance of Immigration Litigation.
Meanwhile, the spokeswoman for the National Security Department, Tricia McLaughlin, said in a publication on social networks that the decision was a “great victory for the security of the US people.”
The department did not respond immediately to a comment email application.
District judge concerned with the deportees who face the danger
The action of the Supreme Court stops an order from the American district judge Brian E Murphy in Boston, who decided in April that people must have the opportunity to argue that deportation to a third country would put them in danger, even if they have otherwise exhausted their legal appeals.
He discovered that the deportation flight from May to South South violated his order and told the immigration authorities to allow people to raise those concerns through their lawyers. Immigration officials housed migrants in a shipping container turned into Djibouti, where they and the officers who kept them face difficult conditions.
The administration has reached agreements with other countries, including Panama and Costa Rica, to house immigrants because some countries do not accept US deportations. Meanwhile, South Sudan has endured repeated waves of violence since he won independence in 2011.
Murphy's order does not prohibit deportations to third countries. But he says that migrants must have a real opportunity to argue that they could be in serious danger of torture if they are sent to another country.
The deportation case of the third country has been one of the various legal inflammation points, since the Trump Rieles administration against judges whose resolutions have slowed the president's policies.
Another order of Murphy, who was appointed by former Democratic President Joe Biden, turned out that the Trump administration returned to a Guatemalan Gay man who had been unfairly deported to Mexico, where he says he had been raped and extorted.
The man, identified in judicial documents as OG, was the first person known for being returned to the custody of the United States after deportation since the beginning of Trump's second mandate.
