US withdraws last troops from Iraq as Supreme Court backs Trump deportation policy
The United States has pulled its remaining troops out of Iraq, leaving the country's defense outlook uncertain, while the Supreme Court has sided for now with the Trump administration's third-country deportation policy.
The United States has completed the withdrawal of its remaining forces from Iraq, marking the departure of its final troops stationed in the country. The move comes against the backdrop of a broader regional conflict involving Iran that has shaped the security landscape. With the full pullout now complete, questions remain about Iraq's future defense arrangements, since the American presence had long been viewed as a stabilizing factor in the region.
Supreme Court ruling on deportations
Separately, the U.S. Supreme Court has issued a ruling that allows the Trump administration to continue, for now, its policy of deporting individuals to third countries — nations other than their own. The decision means the administration can proceed with these deportations while legal challenges to the policy continue to work through the courts.
Both developments reflect shifts under the Trump administration affecting both U.S. military posture in the Middle East and domestic immigration enforcement. The future of Iraq's defense situation and the long-term legal outcome of the deportation policy both remain unresolved.
