Today in court: A DOJ lawyer couldn't tell a judge when exactly the Trump administration would start enforcing a new policy announced in July significantly expanding the govt's ability to speed up deportations buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
The judge is weighing whether to grant a prelim. injunction blocking the Trump admin's expanded expedited removal policy — she was incredulous at the govt's position that there couldn't be any legal challenge until immigration officers actually took action buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
The new policy has been in effect since July, but immigrants and their advocates have been in limbo about when exactly the Trump admin would start enforcing it — in August, DOJ said Sept. 1, but today a DOJ lawyer said nothing was happening yet buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
The judge questioned whether under the govt's position, someone could realistically only challenge the expanded expedited removal policy post-deportation. DOJ lawyer said Congress didn't say people had to be in the US to bring that type of challenge buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
