Administration to ask Supreme Court to allow swift deportations to 3rd countries

A federal court ruling blocked the rapid removal of migrants to third countries.
The Trump administration will ask the U.S. Supreme Court to allow it to continue swiftly deporting immigrants to third countries that are different from their country of origin, Attorney General Todd Blanche said on Thursday.
Blanche's announcement follows a federal appeals court ruling on Wednesday that cleared the way for a lower court decision blocking the rapid removal of migrants to third countries without a "meaningful opportunity" to contest their deportations.
