NEW: The Trump administration has finalized a plan to bypass immigration courts and deport undocumented immigrants who cannot prove they’ve been present continuously in the U.S. for two years or more, according to an announcement Monday
The Trump administration has finalized a plan to bypass immigration courts and deport undocumented immigrants who cannot prove they’ve been present continuously in the U.S. for two years or more, according to an announcement Monday.
“Under this unlawful plan, immigrants who have lived here for years would be deported with less due process than people get in traffic court,” Omar Jadwat, director of the ACLU’s Immigrants’ Rights Project, said in a written statement. A 2004 regulatory change currently limits expedited removal to immigrants who were arrested within 14 days of arrival and caught within 100 miles of a U.S. land border. However, the 1996 statute that created the process allows the speedy removal of people who cannot prove at least two years of continuous presence in the U.S.
The average time in custody for immigrants processed through expedited removal was roughly 11 days in fiscal 2018, according to data included in an advance Federal Register notice published Monday. For immigrants in full removal proceedings, the time in custody averaged 52 days. Immigration advocates argue the number of people placed in the fast-track process could be higher as immigrants are forced to demonstrate continuous presence of at least two years in the U.S.
