Listen to the story

The Supreme Court is the highest court in the United States.

It said Donald Trump can send some people to other countries again. These are called third countries. This means the country is not the person's home country.

This is part of a policy that started last year. A policy is a plan or rule.

Human rights groups counted the people. They say more than 25,000 people were deported. Deported means sent out of a country by force.

These people went to 29 different countries.

The Supreme Court's decision is for now. It is temporary. That means it can change later.

Some groups do not like this policy. They say it is not fair to send people to countries they do not know.

The government says the policy helps control who stays in the country.
