The Supreme Court issued an order late on July 3 that cleared the way for the federal government to deport illegal immigrants to third countries to which they have no prior connection.

The case centers on eight men the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) calls “criminal aliens” who are currently being detained at a U.S. military facility in Djibouti.
