Court rules Trump can’t expand fast-track deportation process

Federal appeals court declines to put hold on lower court's finding that administration violated migrants' due process

A federal appeals court on Saturday declined to clear the way for Donald Trump's administration to expand a fast-track deportation process to allow for the expedited removal of immigrants who are living far away from the border.

A 2-1 panel of the US court of appeals for the District of Columbia circuit declined to put on hold the central part of a ruling by a lower-court judge who had found that the administration's policies violated the due process rights of immigrants who could be apprehended anywhere in the US.
