Third-Country Removal, Guantánamo Transfer and Offshore Detention

The Supreme Court’s Sept. 29 intervention temporarily allows third-country deportations without the notice and protection-screening safeguards imposed below while litigation continues; merits arguments are expected in December. A Nov. 3 order requires officials to honor assurances that no Afghan deportation flights to Afghanistan or Pakistan are planned or confirmed through the week, with restrictions through Nov. 7 unless extended; Sardar Akbari’s separate deportation remains paused for 14 days.
