Airstrikes between Israel and Iran escalate tensions
Smoke rises over Tehran as Israeli airstrikes and Iranian missile attacks push regional tensions to the brink. Dozens of civilian casualties have been reported on both sides.
The Trump administration has asked the US Supreme Court to overturn a judge’s nationwide order blocking its plan to quickly deport migrants to third countries — countries other than their own — without giving them a chance to claim fear of harm.
The Justice Department wants to lift an injunction by Judge Brian Murphy, who ruled migrants must be notified and allowed to seek legal protection before deportation while the case continues.
The administration says the policy is needed to deport migrants who commit crimes but whose home countries refuse to take them back. They argue the injunction is stopping thousands of deportations and disrupting important diplomatic and national security efforts.
Since February, the Department of Homeland Security has been identifying migrants who could be sent to third countries with diplomatic assurances they won’t be persecuted or tortured. Migrants without assurances can raise fear claims and may get a hearing.
Judge Murphy ruled the policy likely violates migrants’ constitutional right to due process by denying notice and a chance to make fear claims.
The administration disagrees, saying its policy follows due process and the injunction limits the president’s immigration authority.
The case also involves controversy over the government trying to deport migrants with serious criminal records to South Sudan and using the Defense Department to bypass court orders.
The battle highlights the clash between strict immigration enforcement and legal protections for migrants — raising questions about the limits of presidential power.
