US appeals court says Trump can proceed with fast-track deportation efforts
Summary
A U.S. appeals court has allowed President Trump’s administration to continue a faster deportation process for immigrants living inside the country. This process, called expedited removal, was previously used mainly at the border, but now the administration can apply it more broadly to immigrants who cannot prove they have lived in the U.S. for over two years.Key Facts
