The Supreme Court handed President Trump a decisive victory on immigration, providing some relief from an onslaught of legal roadblocks that have slowed down his mass deportation efforts.

A majority of the justices voted to allow Trump to send aliens to third countries that are not their own, smoothing a path for Trump to remove illegal immigrants to chaotic faraway lands like South Sudan. The ruling sparked a flaming dissent from the leftist wing of the court, led by Sonia Sotomayor.

Trump's Supreme Court win

The passion was palpable in Sotomayor's scorching opinion, which denounced the Supreme Court for approving "flagrantly unlawful conduct."

"Apparently, the court finds the idea that thousands will suffer violence in farflung locales more palatable than the remote possibility that a district court exceeded its remedial powers when it ordered the government to provide notice and process to which the plaintiffs are constitutionally and statutorily entitled," Sotomayor said. "That use of discretion is as incomprehensible as it is inexcusable."

The Supreme Court order, which came with no explanation, allows Trump to remove aliens to third countries without notice.

The court's ruling is a silent rebuke of a Biden-appointed district judge who ordered Trump to slow down deportations of convicted criminals from countries like Cuba and Vietnam. The judge, Brian Murphy, said the criminal immigrants must be given an opportunity to challenge their removals.

The Supreme Court ruling removes a significant obstacle to deporting aliens whose home countries refuse to take them back.

"DHS can now execute its lawful authority and remove illegal aliens to a country willing to accept them," the Department of Homeland Security said. "Fire up the deportation planes."

Judge defiant

The district judge has continued to block Trump from summarily removing immigrants currently held at a U.S. base in Djibouti. The judge points to a separate court order that Trump did not appeal, which requires officials to assess aliens' fear of torture.

The judge's defiance led to a blistering response from the Justice Department's lawyers, who urged the Supreme Court to step in and possibly reassign the case to a different court.

“The district court’s ruling of last night is indefensible,” the Department of Justice told the Supreme Court.

“The district court’s ruling of last night is a lawless act of defiance that, once again, disrupts sensitive diplomatic relations and slams the brakes on the executive’s lawful efforts to effectuate third-country removals,” the administration said.

The Supreme Court's rulings on Trump's deportation efforts have been a mix of wins and losses for the White House. The justices previously ruled that aliens facing deportation under the Alien Enemies Act must have a chance to fight their removals.

On the other hand, the court allowed Trump to terminate legal protections that Joe Biden gave to 500,000 aliens from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela.
