Introduction

While President Trump parades around Europe, it appears that his administration has secured a major victory on its own soil, at the U.S. Supreme Court! This is a significant day for Republicans, conservatives, and their new immigration policy — but it’s also a setback for democracy, liberals, and human rights advocates.

Day by day, democratic norms are being eroded across the U.S., and constitutional protections are becoming mere words on paper. Migrants in America live with insecurity and fear, protests are erupting, yet no real change emerges — the U.S. sinks deeper into authoritarianism. The will of one man, or a select few, seems to outweigh the U.S. Constitution.

The Supreme Court’s Decision

On June 23–24, 2025, the Supreme Court (in a 6–3 conservative majority) issued an emergency “shadow docket” order allowing the Trump administration to continue deportations of migrants to so‑called third countries — nations from which migrants did not originate and often have no ties to. nymag.com

This ruling affects migrants from Cuba, Myanmar, Laos, Vietnam, and other nations who were slated for deportation to South Sudan — a country designated by the U.S. State Department as extremely unsafe. nymag.com

Previously, lower courts — including Judge Brian Murphy in Boston — mandated that migrants must have a “meaningful opportunity” to challenge deportation, especially if facing risks of torture or death in third countries. But this time, the Supreme Court declined to require it. Deportations can now proceed without prior notice or hearings, even to dangerous locales. theguardian.com

Under 8 U.S.C. § 1231(b), migrants should only be sent to third countries after other options are exhausted (return to origin or last residence), but the Court’s order sidesteps that limitation. nymag.com

Liberal justices — including Sotomayor, Kagan, and Jackson — sharply criticized the decision, calling it “incomprehensible,” "rewarding lawlessness," and a violation of due-process rights and the Convention Against Torture. thedailybeast.com

Some migrants with criminal records were already boarded on a flight to South Sudan. One was transferred to a military base in Djibouti; others were blocked by a temporary court order. Other potential destinations include Libya, Rwanda, El Salvador, and Guatemala — even for migrants who are not from or connected to those countries. politico.com

Dangers Posed by This Ruling

This decision raises urgent concerns about migrants’ rights and humanity. Those deported to third countries could face torture or death — yet the Trump administration seemingly remains unbothered. nymag.com

Immigration attorneys have vowed to challenge the ruling through further lawsuits, hoping lower courts may impose limits. Liberal jurists and attorneys advocate the continuation of legal resistance, warning that constitutional and international obligations are at stake. The risks to migrants’ health and lives are very real.

On social media and in the press, fierce debates have erupted. Conservatives and MAGA supporters hail it as a win for public safety and lawful authority, while liberal-legal circles condemn the ruling for undermining due process and endangering migrants.

Conclusion

American opinions are starkly divided, as evidenced across social platforms. It seems the current U.S. administration is determined to remove all migrants and prevent new arrivals, no matter the means.

Human rights are being trampled, courts are issuing controversial decisions, and the Constitution is being bypassed or violated. Let’s hope rational voices prevail, and that more humane solutions to the ongoing migrant crisis emerge — not only for the U.S., but for the world.
