The Supreme Court's conservative majority on Monday delivered a significant win for the Trump administration's immigration policy, clearing the way for officials to resume deportation of migrants to third countries without additional due process requirements imposed by a district court judge.

After the justices let the administration deport migrants to countries with which they had no connection, a federal judge blocked the removal of eight men.

President Donald Trump's administration accused a federal judge on Tuesday of defying the U.S. Supreme Court's authority, escalating a fight over a group of eight migrants who it had sought to rapidly deport to politically unstable South Sudan.
