美国最高法院于周二（9月29日）解除了将移民驱逐至非其原籍国的限制，同时同意于12月就该问题的实质内容进行审理。这个由保守派主导的最高法院批准了特朗普政府的紧急请求，暂停了一项下级法院的裁决，该裁决限制但并未完全禁止所谓的“第三国驱逐”。美国总统唐纳德·特朗普在竞选中承诺驱逐数百万无证移民，自2025年重返白宫以来，已采取多项行动旨在加快驱逐进程。特朗普政府为第三国驱逐进行了辩护，称其必要性在于：一些被驱逐目标的原籍国有时拒绝接收他们。
The US Supreme Court on Tuesday, September 29, lifted restrictions on the deportations of immigrants to countries that are not their own, while agreeing to hear the issue on its merits in December. The conservative-dominated high court granted an emergency request by the Trump administration to suspend a lower court ruling that restricted, but did not outright ban, so-called "third-country removals." US President Donald Trump campaigned on promises to expel millions of undocumented migrants from the United States and has taken a number of actions aimed at speeding up deportations since returning to the White House in 2025. The Trump administration has defended third-country deportations as necessary since the home nations of some of those who are targeted for removal sometimes refuse to accept them.
在提交给最高法院的法律文书中，反对解除限制的一方辩称，下级法院的裁决并未完全阻止所有第三国驱逐；“它只是要求合法地进行驱逐。”下级法院曾表示，被驱逐对象必须提前获得关于其被送往何地的有效通知，以便他们能对潜在迫害提出担忧。这九名大法官中的三位自由派大法官表示，他们不会批准特朗普政府的请求。
In a brief to the Supreme Court, opponents of lifting the restrictions argued that the lower court ruling did not fully block all third-country deportations; "it simply requires them to do so lawfully." The lower court had said that people targeted for deportation must be given effective notice ahead of time about where they are being sent to allow them to raise concerns about potential persecution. The three liberal justices on the nine-member panel said they would not have granted the Trump administration's request.
“罪犯”与此同时，特朗普的司法部长约翰·索尔告诉法院，快速驱逐至第三国是“驱逐某些外国人（包括一些最恶劣的犯罪外国人）的必要工具”。他说，下级法院的裁决“给驱逐工作造成了重大的后勤问题”。法新社的一项调查发现，美国已提供数百万美元的交易并威胁签证限制，试图让“第三国”，特别是非洲国家，接收此类被驱逐者。
'Criminal' Trump's solicitor general, John Sauer, meanwhile told the court that the rapid deportation to third countries was "an essential tool to remove certain aliens, including some of the worst criminal aliens." The lower court ruling "created substantial logistical problems" with removals, he said. An Agence France-Presse investigation found that the US has offered multimillion-dollar deals and threatened visa restrictions in a bid to get "third countries," especially in Africa, to take such deportees.
一旦进入这些国家——并脱离美国司法管辖——被驱逐者便遭受当地看守的虐待、无限期拘留，或被迅速再次驱逐回其原籍国。国会已将不将人员驱逐至其生命受到威胁或可能遭受酷刑的国家确立为美国政策。
Once in these countries – and outside US jurisdiction – deportees have been subject to abuse by local guards, indefinite detention, or quickly re-deported to their home countries. Congress has made it US policy not to deport people to countries where their lives would be in danger or they could be subject to torture.
