ACLU Sues President Trump’s Over Deportation Plans

[Conservative Angle]

​

The Trump administration’s new rule expands deportation removals.

They’re letting DHS officers deport immigrants who can’t prove two years of U.S. residence.

The idea?

Boost national security and cut costs.

The ACLU, however, isn’t doesn’t like losing Democrat voters, so they’re arguing the rule violates due process rights and bypasses court hearings.

But why should they get due process rights if they’re not citizens?

They’re crying out, saying this plan is “chaotic, unfair, and inhumane.”

Can President Trump countersue them into oblivion?

Axios reports:

Trump administration issued a new rule Tuesday that dramatically expands expedited removal to immigrants who cannot prove they have been continuously living in the U.S. for over two years.

The new rule allows the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to decide expedited removals, with limited exceptions, of immigrants who can’t show that proof to “the satisfaction of an immigration officer.”
“The effect of this change will be to enhance national security and public safety — while rThe American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and two of its chapters are suing to halt President Trump’s attempt to expand “fast-track” deportations without a full hearing.

Why it matters: The lawsuit filed Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., is the latest of many legal challenges against the Trump administration in its first week after the president signed several executive orders on immigration.

Catch up quick: The Trump educing government costs — by facilitating prompt immigration determinations,” the Trump administration said.
Yes, but: The ACLU said in court documents that the new rule violates current federal law and the Fifth Amendment’s due process clause since it nearly erases full court hearings entitled to immigrants.

“The expansion means that low-level DHS officers can now immediately and without process subject individuals in the interior of the United States to expedited removal, without any consideration of their family ties,” the ACLU alleged.
The ACLU also said previous studies show current expedited removals are plagued with error and often result in deportations of immigrants by mistake.
Zoom in: The case was filed on behalf of Make the Road New York, an immigrant advocacy group.

The ACLU is asking a federal judge to issue a stay against the rule and declare it unconstitutional.
“President Trump’s decision to fast-track deportations is chaotic, unfair, and inhumane,” said Arthur Spitzer, senior counsel at the ACLU of the District of Columbia, in a statement.
