A federal appeals court has ruled in favor of the Trump administration's efforts to expand expedited deportations across the United States.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit issued a 2-1 decision allowing the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to implement an expansion of the expedited removal process. This ruling reverses a previous decision by a lower court that had blocked the expansion, citing concerns over due process rights for immigrants.
The expanded policy permits federal immigration officials to deport unauthorized immigrants found anywhere in the U.S. if they cannot prove they have been in the country for at least two years. This marks a significant change from the prior policy, which was limited to recent entrants near the U.S. border.
The ruling allows the Trump administration to implement its expedited removal policy nationwide, potentially increasing the number of deportations without court hearings for many unauthorized immigrants.
