US completes Iraq withdrawal; SCOTUS backs Trump deportation policy

The US has withdrawn all troops from Iraq, ending a military presence that began in 2003 and leaving Iraq's security uncertain amid regional tensions with Iran. Separately, the Supreme Court has temporarily allowed the Trump administration to deport migrants to third countries, a policy that had been blocked by lower courts. The Iraq exit marks a strategic shift in US Middle East posture, while the SCOTUS ruling enables a key immigration enforcement tool.
