A federal judge has blocked the Trump administration’s effort to expand use of a process that fast-tracks undocumented immigrants for deportation without the involvement of immigration courts.
The “expedited removal” procedure has previously been used to quickly send recent border-crossers back to Mexico, with policies limiting its use to individuals apprehended within 100 miles of the U.S. border and who are determined to have crossed into the U.S. illegally in the past two weeks.However, in July, Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials announced plans to eliminate those constraints, allowing use of the fast-track process for any immigrant suspected of being in the U.S.
“There is no evident consideration of the considerable downsides of adopting a policy that, in many respects, could significantly impact people’s everyday lives in many substantial, tangible, and foreseeable ways,” the judge wrote. “An agency cannot consider only the perceived shiny bright spots of a policy that it is mulling—the silver lining, if you will.”Sign UpBy signing up you agree to receive email newsletters or alerts from POLITICO.

“The potential benevolence of individual line-agents is cold comfort from the standpoint of those persons who are located far from the border and are now in the agency’s crosshairs, when, prior to the New Designation, they were not,” Jackson wrote. “Additionally, it reeks of bad faith, demonstrates contempt for the authority that the Constitution’s Framers have vested in the judicial branch, and, ultimately, deprives successful plaintiffs of the full measure of the remedy to which they are entitled,” she added.
