Appeals Court Revives Trump’s Expanded Fast-Track Deportation Plan

A U.S. appeals court on June 23 cleared the way for the Trump administration’s push to broaden expedited removal of undocumented migrants. The ruling restores a policy to deport individuals without a formal hearing if they cannot prove two years of continuous U.S. residency. Previously limited to those caught within 100 miles of a land border and 14 days of arrival, the decision now applies nationwide. Judges Justin Walker and Neomi Rao joined the majority, while Judge Robert Wilkins dissented. The Department of Homeland Security’s top lawyer hailed the outcome as a victory for enforcing the law as written. Civil rights groups, including the ACLU, warned the move erodes due process and are exploring further legal challenges.
