Trump Seeks Supreme Court Approval to Deport Immigrants to Face Torture
The Trump administration seeks Supreme Court approval to circumvent the Convention Against Torture, arguing a loophole allows deportation to undisclosed countries, even if torture is likely. This tactic bypasses established procedures where immigrants can contest deportation to countries posing a credible threat of torture. The administration claims this applies even to those already deemed removable, ignoring existing legal protections and due process. The case hinges on jurisdictional arguments, with the administration asserting that courts lack the authority to review this practice, potentially leaving affected immigrants without any judicial recourse.
