In a win for President Donald Trump, the Supreme Court issued a brief order Monday allowing the Trump administration to restart deportation flights of illegal aliens to nations other than their own. The high court’s order lifts, for now, a lower court’s order allowing illegal immigrants to challenge their deportation order before their removal.

Pray for your fellow intercessor.

Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin praised the court’s decision, calling the order “a victory for the safety and security of the American people.”

“The Biden administration allowed millions of illegal aliens to flood our country, and now, the Trump administration can exercise its undisputed authority to remove these criminal illegal aliens and clean up this national security nightmare,” McLaughlin said.

The criminal illegal aliens the Trump administration is seeking to deport to third party counties are “so uniquely barbaric that their own countries won’t take them back,” McLaughlin said, adding, “[f]ire up the deportation planes.”

The justices did not explain the reason for their decision, but Justice Sonia Sotomayor, joined by Justices Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson, issued a lengthy dissent.

“In matters of life and death, it is best to proceed with caution. In this case, the government took the opposite approach,” Sotomayor wrote, adding that the Trump administration “wrongfully deported” illegal immigrants to Guatemala and South Sudan.

“Rather than allowing our lower court colleagues to manage this high-stakes litigation with the care and attention it plainly requires, this Court now intervenes to grant the government emergency relief from an order it has repeatedly defied,” the dissent continued. “I cannot join so gross an abuse of the court’s equitable discretion.”

Despite the Supreme Court’s decision, the deportation flight to South Sudan that has been contested in court remains on pause. In May, the Trump administration attempted to deport a group of eight criminal illegal aliens to South Sudan who had been charged or convicted of crimes including murder, rape, assault, and robbery.

A federal judge ruled that the men were not given the opportunity to object to their deportation to a third-party country. The illegal aliens are currently at a naval base in Djibouti and U.S. District Judge Brian E. Murphy in Boston says the men must still be given the opportunity to raise their safety concerns in court over their pending deportation to South Sudan.

The Trump administration has faced numerous legal challenges amid its efforts to deport thousands of illegal aliens. Despite the hurdles, the administration continues to express a commitment to arrest and remove illegal immigrants, especially those with a criminal record or conviction.
