The Trump administration has expanded its use of “expedited removal”, a process that allows the government to quickly deport certain undocumented individuals without the chance to present their case before an immigration judge. Previously, ICE and CBP could only use expedited removal against people apprehended within 100 miles of the border and within 14 days of their arrival.
Now, the government can use it against any undocumented person who did not enter on parole or with a visa and who cannot prove they have been in the U.S. continuously for two years before the arrest.

Ahora, el gobierno puede utilizarla contra cualquier persona indocumentada que no haya ingresado en libertad condicional o con una visa y que no pueda demostrar que ha estado en los EE. UU. de forma continua durante dos años antes del arresto.
