SCOTUS allows 'expedited' deportation for 'meritless' asylum seekers

The Supreme Court ruled Thursday that the Trump administration can deport some people seeking asylum without allowing them to make their case to a federal judge.

The high court's 7-2 ruling applies to people who are picked up at or near the border and who fail their initial asylum screenings, making them eligible for quick deportation, or expedited removal.

The victory came on the heels of two defeats, with the Supreme Court ruling 6-3 in favor of civil rights for gay and transgender people, and 5-4 against Trump's plan to end DACA.
