A new Trump Administration policy goes into effect today. This policy will expand “expedited removal” – “a provision of the law that permits the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to rapidly deport certain individuals without an opportunity to see an immigration judge.” Previously, expedited removal only applied to individuals crossing the border, but expanding expedited removal will give these enforcement agencies the authority to deport individuals from anywhere in the United States who crossed the border without a visa less than two years ago. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the American Immigration Council already announced that they will challenge this policy in court.
