A federal judge has blocked the Trump administration's plan to expand a procedure to speed up deportations for some undocumented immigrants
The policy shift, announced in July, casts a wider net over undocumented immigrants subject to the fast-track deportation procedure known as"expedited removal," which allows immigration authorities to remove an individual without a hearing before an immigration judge. In doing so, the administration would be provided greater latitude in quickly deporting undocumented immigrants.
