The Supreme Court’s recent decision in Department of Homeland Security v. D.V.D. has raised concerns about the erosion of due process protections and the potential for unlawful deportations of immigrants and U.S. citizens, while also undermining the judiciary’s role as a check on executive power.
The US Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to resume deporting immigrants to third countries, halting due process protections for thousands of noncitizens who could face serious threats of torture or death.
The Trump administration is asking the Supreme Court to allow the deportation of immigrants without a chance to challenge their removal in court, potentially eroding protections under the Convention Against Torture and setting a precedent for future administrations to circumvent human rights obligations.
