It really should be easy: “did you come to the U.S. illegally? Yes? Then you are being deported.” Anyone who illegally crosses the border should be fast tracked out

ICE ending migrants’ court cases in order to arrest and move to deport them

The Trump administration has launched an operation to terminate the immigration court cases of certain migrants, in order to arrest them and place them in a fast-tracked deportation process instead, government officials and attorneys told CBS News.

Lawyers and advocates this week reported arrests of migrants outside of immigration courthouses across the U.S., saying teams of Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers had detained individuals whose cases in front of immigration judges had just been terminated at the request of the government.

Two Department of Homeland Security officials told CBS News that ICE is conducting an operation to expedite the deportation of migrants with court hearings scheduled in the near future. It’s the latest step taken by the Trump administration to dramatically ramp up immigration arrests across the country and fulfill what the president has promised will be the largest deportation campaign in American history.

The operation involves ICE prosecutors asking immigration judges to terminate the court cases of certain migrants, so agents at the agency can instead arrest those individuals and place them in a more rapid deportation process known as “expedited removal,” the officials said.

Instead of taking years, it can be quick

Migrants who lack proper documents and can’t prove they have been in the U.S. for more than two years are eligible to be deported under expedited removal, without a court hearing.

Really, any who are here illegally should be fast tracked. Let’s make it happen.

Expedited removal can also be applied to unauthorized migrants who entered the U.S. with the government’s permission at legal entry points, and there’s no two-year entry limit for those cases. That would place the nearly 1 million migrants who entered the U.S. under a Biden administration program known as CBP One at risk of being targeted by the new ICE operation.

Let’s be honest, most will not be eligible for asylum. Most seem to be fighting age men, not women and children.

You know what would be fun? To hold court in upscale liberal areas, and house the illegals there while waiting. Martha’s Vineyard, Beverly Hills, near Obama’s house in Chicago, near Biden’s beach house in Delaware, etc. Since they love them so much.
