I get that the SCOTUS has to look at it purely from procedural and legal framing - more so than from that of fairness or human rights. Perhaps they didn't have much of a choice on this one: what if returning migrants to their country of origin makes it worse for them? Is unfeasible? The country no longer exists?

Yet what I find inconceivable is the apparent willful ignorance of the clear consequences of the decision in enabling the current admin to abscond the rule of law and abuse human rights - just as Sotomayor laid out.

Dark times we live in.
