Chaos, Cruelty, and Corruption.

The Supreme Court allows deportations to third party countries, 6 to 3. Here is what I don’t understand:

1. This decision “paused” a District Court ruling that said that a deportee should first have a right to claim he may be tortured in the country where he is being sent. Since the substantive case is still to be heard and may wind up with a ruling in favor of the deportee, how is it right for the Court to discriminate against a deportee because he was deported before the ultimate ruling? And won’t this interim ruling just lead the federal government to deport as many as they can to third party countries as quickly as they can?
2. The Court previously said no one could be deported without a due process hearing. I assume that would hold for deportees being sent to third party countries. How do you have a due process hearing on deportation without the potential deportee being able to show what will happen to him on being deported?
3. The deportees to El Salvador are being put in prison, presumably for crimes committed in the US, and are sentenced to indefinite terms under conditions outside of US control. It is apparent that some of these men have committed no crimes or very minor infractions. What recourse will a potential deportee have now if they are being transferred not inly to a foreign country, but a foreign prison?
4. The public is not being given any information regarding terms of agreement between the US and foreign countries as to handling American deportees. Is this some relevant to a potential deportee at a due process hearing?

I have so many questions about what ICE is doing and how they are doing it. This, as Elon Musk would say, is “just a scratch”.

Sorry for two posts today. But this seems so important.
