Supreme Court emergency fight over third-country removals adds to immigration due-process scrutiny

DOJ is asking the Supreme Court to authorize rapid third-country removals after the First Circuit upheld findings that affected people lack meaningful notice and an opportunity to raise torture protections. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s warning that repeated emergency rulings impose institutional costs and may bypass ordinary review heightens scrutiny of the shadow docket. Restricted immigration-court access, in-absentia deportations, and scrutiny of the ICE shooting involving Renee Good continue to drive congressional oversight.
