Expedited Removal
Expedited removal is a process by which low-level immigration officers can summarily remove certain noncitizens from the United States without a hearing before an immigration judge. Undocumented immigrants placed in expedited removal proceedings are entitled to access the asylum system if they express fear of persecution, torture, or of returning to their home country. On Jan. 21, the Department of Homeland Security expanded its use of a process called "expedited removal," putting undocumented community members at greater risk of being put in a rapid deportation process.
