Court gifts Trump administration huge victory in mass deportation operation
A federal appeals court has ruled in favor of expanding a fast-track deportation process to let the Trump administration expeditiously remove illegal immigrants who are living inside the United States, not just at the southern border.
TL;DR
- A federal appeals court reinstated the Trump administration's plan for expedited removal of illegal immigrants inside the U.S.
- The ruling allows deportations to occur without lengthy immigration court proceedings.
- This process applies to individuals who entered without inspection or parole and are not classified as 'gotaways' with no record of release.
- Those who can prove two years of residency in the U.S. or have passed initial credible fear screenings are exempt.
