A divided panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit rules that the Trump administration may resume “expedited” removals of undocumented migrants across the United States, expanding a process that has typically been limited to people apprehended near the southern border. In a 2-to-1 decision, the appeals court reverses a prior ruling that had blocked or limited the administration’s use of the expedited removal procedure. The lower court ruling had found the process likely violated due process rights. According to accounts of the decision, the appellate panel instead allows the government to proceed with the nationwide use of the expedited process and lifts the restraint that had been imposed. The reporting describes the decision as a reversal of an earlier order issued by a district judge, and it characterizes the appeals court’s action as enabling the administration to restart the fast-track removals. The outlets agree on the basic outcome, the court and panel involved, the vote margin, and that the decision concerns expanding where expedited removals can be used.
