SC green-lights deportations: Trump admin wins key immigration battle; 8 detained in Djibouti cleared for transfer

US Supreme Court allows for migrant deportation Supreme Court on Thursday cleared way for the Trump administration to deport a group of migrants who had been held for weeks at a US military base in Djibouti, ruling in favour of the government in a closely watched case. The unsigned order came just days after the court allowed the administration to deport certain migrants to countries other than their homeland with minimal notice. June 23 decision triggered a legal battle over whether the same policy could be applied to a specific group of eight migrants detained in Djibouti. A federal judge in Massachusetts had ruled that the June decision did not apply to these eight migrants, citing a separate court order that the administration had not appealed. The ruling temporarily blocked their removal, prompting the administration to seek emergency relief from the Supreme Court. On Thursday, the court reversed the lower court's injunction and allowed the deportations to proceed, over the objections of two liberal justices. The migrants, who include individuals from Cuba, Vietnam and Laos, had been diverted to Djibouti while en route to South Sudan. They were being held in a converted Conex shipping container on the base. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like An engineer reveals: One simple trick to get internet without a subscription Techno Mag Learn More Undo The administration argued that the lower court's ruling conflicted with the Supreme Court's earlier decision, and the majority agreed. In its order, the court stated that the June 23 decision applied to the case 'in full,' and rejected the argument that the Massachusetts ruling created a separate legal shield. 'Such a remedy would serve to 'coerce' the government into 'compliance' and would be unenforceable given our stay of the underlying injunction,' the court wrote.

Trump to celebrate 250 years of independence with UFC fight at White House

President Donald Trump said Thursday that he's thinking of staging a UFC match on the White House grounds with upwards 20,000 spectators to celebrate 250 years of American independence. We have a lot of land there, said Trump, a UFC enthusiast who has attended several of its mixed martial arts matches in recent months and is close friends with Dana White, the league's president. Trump announced his plan in Iowa during the kickoff for a year's worth of festivities to celebrate America's 250th birthday on July 4, 2026. The Republican president also announced a culminating festival on the National Mall in Washington, and a separate athletic competition featuring high school athletes from across the country. So every one of our national parks, battlefields and historic sites are going to have special events in honour of America 250. And I even think we're going to have a UFC fight," Trump said. "Think of this on the grounds of the White House. We have a lot of land there," he said, adding that it would be a full fight with 20,000 to 25,000 people. A White House spokesperson said they had no details to share beyond the president's announcement. Trump has recently enjoyed standing ovations and cage-side seats for several UFC fights, including an appearance immediately after his 2024 reelection and another just last month alongside White for two championship fights.
