US Supreme Court allows Trump to resume deportations to third countries

The US Supreme Court has cleared the way for President Donald Trump's administration to resume deportations of migrants to countries other than their homeland.

By a majority of 6-3, the justices reversed a lower court order requiring the government to give migrants a "meaningful opportunity" to tell officials what risks they might face in being deported to a third country.

The ruling hands the Republican president another victory in his pursuit of mass deportations.
