Yesterday, the Supreme Court blocked a lower court order which required migrants to receive 15 days notice prior to their deportation to third countries, reports Nina Totenberg of NPR.
The lower court order mandated giving deportees sufficient time to contact lawyers and present evidence of danger if sent to certain countries. The Supreme Court decision reverses that order and facilitate deportations to countries where the deportee has no prior connection, reports Lawrence Hurley of .
Separately, Mike Dolan writes that recent changes to immigration policy could be curtailing job growth, in his column for Reuters.
Citing research from Barclays, Dolan emphasizes that the aging of the American population should cause “the labor force to shrink by about 360,000 this year and next, accelerating thereafter.”
As the number of incoming migrants slows to a halt in the United States and the population of existing workers continues to age out of active work, a slowing of labor could be in the country’s future, writes Dolan.
