Trump scores major win as Supreme Court lifts limits on third‑country deportations

The US Supreme Court has greenlit the Trump administration's plans to resume deportations of undocumented migrants to countries that are not their homeland.
In a major win for President Donald Trump's vow to remove illegal immigrants from the US, an unsigned order from the conservative-dominated top court came after the Justice Department lifted a stay imposed by a lower court on so-called third-country deportations.
The Supreme Court did not provide an explanation for the decision and the three liberal justices dissented.
STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD
The original case challenging the third country deportations will now be heard by an appeals court, but the Supreme Court's move allows the removals to proceed for now.
Why was deportation blocked by the court?
In April, the US top court paused the deportation of alleged Venezuelan gang members, citing an 18th-century law.
The court was hearing an emergency appeal from the American Civil Liberties Union, arguing that deportations under the Trump 2.0 administration seem to be moving in the direction of removal under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798.
The Supreme Court had earlier noted that deportations are only possible if the ones who are supposed to be removed from the US have the chance to argue their case in court and were given 'a reasonable time' to contest their pending removals.
'Fire up the deportation planes'
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) welcomed the Supreme Court move as a 'victory for the safety and security of the American people.'
'If these activists judges had their way, aliens who are so uniquely barbaric that their own countries won't take them back, including convicted murderers, child rapists and drug traffickers, would walk free on American streets,' DHS said in a post on X.
'DHS can now execute its lawful authority and remove illegal aliens to a country willing to accept them,' it said. 'Fire up the deportation planes.'

Lawyer moves Supreme Court seeking suspension of Air India Boeing fleet
New Delhi [India], June 24 (ANI): A Public Interest Litigation plea has been filed in the Supreme Court seeking an interim suspension of all of Air India's Boeing flights following the fatal Air India crash in Ahmedabad on June 12 that killed 241 of the 242 passengers. The plea has been filed by Advocate Ajay Bansal, who has sought a safety audit of all of Air India flights and those of other airlines to address systemic safety failures in Air India's operations, particularly its Boeing fleet. The plea has raised several grounds, the foremost being the gross violation of Article 21 of the Constitution, which guarantees the Right to Life and Personal Liberty. The petitioner argues that passenger safety is an integral part of this right, and chronic maintenance failures, such as those evident in the present case, constitute an infringement of the same. Further, the petition highlights a breach of statutory duties under the Aircraft Act and Rules, especially Rules 30 and 134, which mandate periodic airworthiness and fitness checks. It alleges that Air India's conduct demonstrates clear non-compliance with these mandatory requirements. Additionally, the petitioner emphasises that the statutory obligation to conduct regular safety audits and provide adequate passenger facilities on international flights has not been met, resulting in a major accident and the loss of 241 passengers, including many aspiring doctors, thereby affecting families and communities at large. The plea also asserts that there has been inadequate enforcement of safety regulations by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) and Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS). The plea further alleges that systemic maintenance gaps, including malfunctioning air conditioning systems before take-off, routinely evade the oversight of these authorities, showing a failure to implement mandatory pre-flight procedures. The petitioner highlights that the Supreme Court has, in the past, issued guidelines in similar public interest matters concerning safety in the transportation sector, such as in MC Mehta v. Union of India (1987). Therefore, there is a pressing need to strictly enforce all rules, regulations and guidelines under the Aircraft Act, 1934; the Aircraft Rules, 1937; DGCA directions; Civil Aviation Requirements (CAR); advisory circulars; and international conventions such as the Montreal Convention, 1999, which establishes a carrier's duty of care, the plea adds. On these grounds, the petitioner seeks interim reliefs, including the issuance of mandatory, time-bound guidelines for safety and operational checks; unannounced audits with public disclosure of findings; immediate grounding of any non-compliant aircraft until rectification and re-certification; and stringent enforcement of airworthiness norms across all airlines operating in India.

The Simpsons' most shocking predictions: 5 times the cartoon strangely got the future right
The Simpsons predictions 1. Donald Trump as President — Predicted in 2000 2. Tiger Attack on Stage — Predicted a decade earlier 3. Nobel Prize Prediction — A blink-and-miss moment comes true 4. Beatles Fan Surprise — Life mirrors episode decades later Live Events 5. Disney Acquires Fox — A joke turned real Why do these Simpsons predictions fascinate us? (You can now subscribe to our (You can now subscribe to our Economic Times WhatsApp channel For more than 30 years, The Simpsons has amused audiences with its witty humor, sharp satire, and iconic characters. But beyond the comedy, fans have noticed something uncanny — the show's remarkable ability to predict real-life events, often long before they unfold. From political surprises to pop culture moments and viral news, the residents of Springfield seem to have an unexpected talent for foreseeing the before the surprising 2016 election, The Simpsons aired an episode titled 'Bart to the Future' in 2000, imagining Lisa Simpson as President following the financially disastrous term of—believe it or not—Donald Trump. Originally meant as a satirical nod to Trump's early political ambitions with the Reform Party, the idea seemed far-fetched at the time. But when Trump actually became president in 2016, and then returned to the spotlight again in 2024, the fictional forecast felt eerily spot-on, leaving viewers stunned at how real the joke had the 1993 episode 'Springfield (Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Legalised Gambling),' The Simpsons featured a duo clearly inspired by Siegfried and Roy, whose stage act with a white tiger turns disastrous when the animal attacks mid-performance. Ten years later, in 2003, Roy Horn was seriously injured by a white Bengal tiger during a live Las Vegas show — an incident so eerily similar it mirrored the episode's events, right down to the shocking nature of the the 2010 episode 'Elementary School Musical,' The Simpsons casually included a joke where Milhouse places a bet on Finnish economist Bengt R. Holmström to win the Nobel Prize in Economics. At the time, it seemed like just another clever reference. But in 2016, Holmström was actually awarded the Nobel, turning the throwaway gag into a surprisingly accurate prediction—and giving fans yet another reason to marvel at the show's strange the 1991 episode 'Brush with Greatness,' Marge reminisces about mailing a portrait to Ringo Starr and eventually getting a reply years later. In an unexpected real-life twist, Paul McCartney responded in 2024 to a fan video sent six decades earlier. The long-delayed gesture strikingly resembled The Simpsons' storyline, blurring the line between fiction and reality with an emotional, decades-in-the-making the 1998 episode 'When You Dish Upon a Star,' The Simpsons included a blink-and-you'll-miss-it gag showing a sign that read '20th Century Fox: A Division of Walt Disney Co.' Meant as a playful jab, the joke turned prophetic when Disney actually acquired 21st Century Fox in a massive $52 billion deal announced in 2017 and finalized in 2019. What started as satire ended up predicting a major shift in the entertainment nearly 800 episodes filled with sharp satire on politics, pop culture, and world affairs, The Simpsons constantly delivers clever commentary. But when one of those jokes lines up with future events—even slightly—it leaves us amazed. Statistically, some coincidences are bound to happen. Yet it's the mix of humor, cultural awareness, and uncanny foresight that gives the show its almost legendary status as a pop-culture prophet.[With TOI inputs]
