POLICY WIRE — Washington, United States — The U.S. Supreme Court has allowed the Trump administration to continue deporting undocumented migrants to countries other than their own while it evaluates the legality of the policy.

The administration had previously been permitted to proceed with these deportations as part of its broader immigration enforcement strategy.
