The remora of JPP
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) sued Wednesday over President Trump’s expansion of a program that allows immigration officials to carry out swift deportations.
Trump’s Department of Homeland Security on Tuesday issued a rule enabling expedited removals to take place nationwide for migrants who cannot prove they have been in the country for two years. It’s a massive expansion, as under the Biden administration the program was limited to within 100 miles of international borders.
Expedited removals enable law enforcement to carry out deportations after a quick inspection, without conducting a full hearing, if a migrant does not present a valid asylum claim.
“The Administration’s decision to expand expedited removal to a vast group of noncitizens living anywhere in the United States disregards nearly three decades of experience showing that the expedited removal process, even when used at the border for new arrivals, is rife with errors and results in widespread violations of individuals’ legal rights,” the ACLU wrote in its complaint.
Trump just doesn't care.
