High court lets third country deport flights run again

The court did not explain why. It just turned the flights back on.

  • The Supreme Court lifted a Boston block on third country removals.
  • The order was 6 to 3 and unsigned.
  • Sotomayor, Kagan, and Jackson wanted the pause kept.
  • Full arguments are set for December.
  • A final ruling is due by June 2027.
  • Rights groups count more than 25,000 people already sent to 29 countries.
  • Most went to Mexico.
  • The government said a lower court order canceled a flight of about 70 people.
