Incident under investigation

The U.S. Supreme Court for now let the Trump administration resume deporting undocumented people to countries other than their own with little if any notice.

The court will hear arguments on the issue in December.

Granting an administration request Tuesday over the dissents of the three liberal justices, the high court put on hold a federal judge’s order that required people who are being deported to get notice and a meaningful chance to argue that they would be at risk of persecution or torture.
