Appeals Court Greenlights Speedy Deportations Across the U.S.

A federal appeals court issued a ruling on Tuesday giving the Trump administration the green light to carry out rapid deportations of undocumented migrants anywhere in the United States — not just in areas close to the border.

The decision allows federal authorities to move forward with what are known as expedited removals on a nationwide scale, significantly broadening the reach of the administration’s immigration enforcement efforts.
