The US Supreme Court has cleared the way for President Donald Trump's administration to resume deportations of migrants to countries other than their homeland, BBC reported.

By 6-3, the justices reversed a lower court order requiring the government to give migrants a "meaningful opportunity" to tell officials what risks they might face being deported to a third country. 

The court's three liberal justices dissented from the majority ruling, saying it was "rewarding lawlessness".

The case involves eight migrants from Myanmar, South Sudan, Cuba, Mexico, Laos and Vietnam, who were deported in May on a plane said to be heading for South Sudan. The Trump administration said they were "the worst of the worst," according to BBC.
