Trump administration can expand fast-track deportation process, US appeals court rules
The 2-1 ruling lets the administration use fast-track removals nationwide without immigration judge hearings, a major boost to its mass deportation plan.
- On Tuesday, a divided D.C. Circuit panel ruled 2–1 to reinstate the Trump administration's nationwide expansion of expedited removal, vacating a lower court's 2025 stay that had blocked the policy from interior enforcement.
- The administration's January 2025 directive authorized immigration agents to fast-track deportations for noncitizens nationwide who cannot prove two years of continuous U.S. residence, shifting from the policy's historical border-only focus.
- Writing for the majority, Circuit Judge Justin R. Walker stated that the Constitution requires notice and an opportunity to respond, rejecting arguments that officers must inform detainees about the two-year residency exception.
- Dissenting Judge Robert L. Wilkins argued the procedures are "woefully inadequate" for interior enforcement, while immigrant rights advocates like Make the Road New York warn the policy subjects long-term residents to an error-prone system.
- Department of Homeland Security officials said the ruling "vindicated" their approach, viewing the expanded removal authority as essential for the administration's mass deportation campaign across all 50 states.
