A federal appeals court ruled

Tuesday that President Trump can resume fast-tracking deportations, in
a 2–1 ruling. While a lower court struck the program down in August,
this ruling allows the Trump administration to deport potentially
millions of people without offering them immigration hearings.

Judge Justin R. Walker and Judge Neomi Rao, two Trump appointees,
ruled in Trump’s favor, while Judge Robert L. Wilkins, an Obama
appointee, dissented. The Trump appointees argued that it was within
the executive’s jurisdiction to decide which migrants to fast-track
to deportation and that the Department of Homeland Security was not
required to inform migrants that they could avoid an accelerated
deportation if they could offer proof of residency for at least two
years.

“It is not a requirement that the government explain how the
individual might prevail,” Walker wrote.

Wilkins noted in his dissent that the expedited removal process was
usually reserved for people detained immediately at the U.S. borders,
rather than immigrants who’d been in the country for some time.

“A procedure that can result in persons being deported pursuant to
the expedited removal statute without even being asked how long they
have been in the country might satisfy due process for persons
encountered at the border, but it is woefully inadequate for persons
encountered in the interior of the country,” Wilkins wrote.

This decision is a victory for the mass deportation agenda animating

The DHS celebrated the ruling, claiming that it had “vindicated”
Trump, according to _The New York Times_
