A federal appeals court has allowed the Trump administration to move forward with an effort to expand fast-track deportations throughout the United States. A divided panel of judges overturned a previous ruling that had found these measures violated the constitutional right to due process.
The policy enables federal agents to rapidly remove undocumented immigrants from anywhere in the U.S. without due process if they cannot quickly prove they have been in the country for more than two years.
For nearly three decades, this expedited process has been used primarily to swiftly repatriate migrants apprehended directly at the border.
Additionally, the court ruled 6-3 that suspicion alone justifies placing green card holders on immigration parole at border crossings.
