The U.S. Supreme Court swept away this week another obstacle to one of President Donald Trump's most aggressively pursued policies - mass deportation - again showing its willingness to back his hardline approach to immigration.

The administration had asked the court to allow it to end deportation protections for more than 500,000 people facing dire humanitarian crises in their home countries.

The Supreme Court ruled that the Trump Administration can—for now—end a program used by over half a million migrants.
