A divided Supreme Court on Monday allowed the Trump administration to restart swift removals of migrants to countries other than their homelands, as President Donald Trump continues his sweeping immigration crackdown that has sparked widespread protests, high-profile detentions and various court challenges.

The Supreme Court’s action lifts for now a court order requiring migrants get a chance to challenge the deportations.

All three liberal justices dissented, with Justice Sonia Sotomayor writing that the court’s action exposes “thousands to the risk of torture or death.”
