Dear John, The Trump administration wants to increase its power to deport immigrants without a fair day in court through expedited removal. On behalf of three organizations that serve immigrant communities, we just filed a lawsuit to stop the expansion of this unchecked authority in its tracks. We are partnering in this suit with the American Civil Liberties Union and Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP.
Under the administration’s new rule, hundreds of thousands of individuals risk being deported within hours of apprehension without basic legal protections such as a hearing or an opportunity to speak with an attorney. It also creates a “show me your papers” regime where individuals—including U.S. citizens—will be forced to prove to immigration officers that they should not be deported. This latest attack on immigrant communities makes a mockery of justice. With your support, we will continue to fight these attacks and champion due process rights.
Sincerely, |
