美国最高法院周二暂时允许政府继续将移民驱逐到那些在他们的驱逐令中并未明确指定的国家，这为特朗普总统推进其强硬的移民政策又赢得了一场胜利。法院还表示，将在12月对此案进行全面的口头辩论。
The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday allowed the administration to resume, for now, deportations of migrants to countries that are not identified in their removal orders, handing President Trump another victory in his aggressive immigration agenda. The court also said it would take up the case for full oral argument in December.
最高法院在批准该申请的临时裁决中并未说明为何要暂缓下级法院阻止向第三国驱逐移民的裁决。不过，法院要求双方就以下问题进行辩论：下级法院是否有权对此事作出裁决并下令在全国范围内暂停相关驱逐行为；特朗普的政策是否合法；以及该政策是否违反了正当程序原则或国际反酷刑公约。
The court's brief order granting the petition did not outline a reason for staying a lower-court order that blocked the third-country deportations. But it asked both sides to argue whether lower courts had the jurisdiction to rule on the issue and order nationwide relief, as well as whether the Trump policy is legal or whether it violated the due process clause or conventions against torture.
美国司法部长约翰·索尔在本月早些时候提交的法庭文件中表示，向第三国驱逐移民的政策是“驱逐某些外国人（包括那些犯有严重罪行的外国人）的重要手段”。美国政府称，由于这些移民的原籍国拒绝接收他们，他们已利用该政策将数万名非公民驱逐到了墨西哥以及非洲和拉丁美洲的国家。
Solicitor General John Sauer told the justices the third-country deportation policy amounted to "an essential tool to remove certain aliens, including some of the worst criminal aliens," in court papers earlier this month. The administration said it has used the policy to deport tens of thousands of noncitizens to Mexico and countries in Africa and Latin America after the migrants' home countries refused to accept them.
索尔在9月24日提交的紧急申请中写道：“虽然某些外国人可能会从暂缓驱逐的过程中受益，但整个国家并不会因此受益。”
"While certain aliens may benefit from stalling their removal, the Nation does not," Sauer wrote in an emergency application Sept. 24.
最高法院在周二的裁决中指出，三名持自由派立场的法官反对暂缓执行下级法院的裁决。
The court's brief order on Tuesday noted that the three liberal justices objected to staying the order.
这是最高法院第三次驳回波士顿地方法官布莱恩·墨菲试图暂停驱逐行动的请求。墨菲法官认为，这些驱逐行为违反了正当程序原则，且未能向被驱逐者提供充分的通知，使他们无法提出自己可能遭受酷刑或虐待的合理担忧。
The action by the high court marks the third time the justices have rejected efforts by U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy in Boston to pause the deportations, which the judge said violate due process rights and fail to give detainees meaningful notice to raise arguments that they have credible fears of torture or abuse in the countries where they could be sent. The National Immigration Litigation Alliance, which is representing migrants facing deportation, said in court papers that their clients are facing significant harms.
代表这些面临驱逐风险的移民的“全国移民诉讼联盟”在法庭文件中表示，他们的当事人正面临着严重的伤害。
"The record shows that class members removed without meaningful notice or an opportunity to present country-specific protection claims have faced prolonged and arbitrary detention, beatings and sexual assault, disappearance, and chain refoulement to countries from which the United States had already granted them protection," wrote lawyer Trina Realmuto.
律师特里娜·雷穆托（Trina Realmuto）写道：“记录显示，那些在未收到任何正式通知、也没有机会提出与本国相关的保护申请的情况下就被驱逐出境的当事人，遭到了长期且任意的拘留、殴打、性侵犯，甚至被遣返到美国已经给予他们保护资格的国家。这些伤害是无法挽回的。”美国国土安全部表示，墨菲（Murphy）的裁决引发了严重的后勤问题：航班被取消，可能引发外交冲突，同时那些被判犯有暴力或毒品犯罪的人的驱逐程序也受到了延误。
"These harms cannot be undone." The Department of Homeland Security said Murphy's rulings have created a logistical nightmare, including canceled flights, potential diplomatic clashes, and a lag in removing people convicted of assault and drug crimes.
美国政府认为，如果某个国家向国务卿马可·卢比奥（Marco Rubio）保证不会对该国人进行迫害或虐待，那么就足以成为将这名非公民驱逐到另一个国家的理由。
The administration argued that if a country has assured Secretary of State Marco Rubio that it will not engage in persecution or torture, that should be enough to deport a noncitizen to a country that's not their own.
美国最高法院的保守派占绝对多数，他们承认总统在边境事务上拥有广泛的权力。去年夏天，法院以6比3的投票结果裁定：对于那些因战争或自然灾害而无法返回原籍国的外国人，总统有权终止他们的临时保护身份（即“临时保护状态”）。
The Supreme Court's conservative supermajority has recognized the president has substantial authority over the border. Last summer, in a 6-to-3 decision, the court ruled President Trump has sweeping power to end the temporary protected status program for people who can't return to their home countries because of wars and natural disasters.
