ICE agents are expanding "expedited removals" — deportations without court hearings — across the US.

This is the notice ICE will be providing immigrants placed in these proceedings. They will have to prove they have been continuously residing in the US prior to July 23, 2019.
ICE agents have been receiving training to enforce the new rules—which expand expedited removal beyond the previous 100-miles-from-the-border limit.

Below are training slides detailing how ICE expects to enforce the policy & how immigrants can contest their summary deportation:
Immigrants ICE seeks to summarily deport under this policy will have 72 hours to show—through financial, employment, school and personal documents—that they have been living in the US for 2 + years.

Mores training slides below, including on asylum screenings and release options.

DHS No. 2 Ken Cuccinelli issued an official statement today denouncing U.S. District Judge Dolly Gee as an "activist" and accusing her of "preparing to order the separation" of migrant families in ICE detention.

I want to highlight a few points in a brief thread. 1/
Lawyers for detained migrant minors and the Justice Department filed a draft of a protocol earlier this month explaining that parents in ICE family detention can allow their children to be released to sponsors or continue to be in detention, together but indefinitely. 2/
Gee, who has ordered the government to comply with its binding obligation under the Flores settlement to seek the prompt release of migrant minors from detention, has yet to approve the protocol.

She ordered all parties yesterday to continue working to finalize the protocol. 3/

NEW — The Trump admin. is making more undocumented immigrants eligible to be quickly deported without a court hearing, instructing ICE agents to oversee the nation-wide expansion of a policy that had long been limited to border areas. @CBSNews.
cbsnews.com/news/ice-depor…
The expansion of "expedited removals" comes as DHS has been touting a series of pre-election ICE operations in cities across the US, from California to New York, that have adopted "sanctuary" policies that limit local law enforcement cooperation with federal deportation agents.
Previously, expedited removals could only be used within 100 miles of US land borders.

ICE agents can now place undocumented immigrants arrested anywhere in the US in expedited removals if they fail to demonstrate they have lived in the country for 2 years or longer.

New: The 9th Circuit has denied the Trump admin.'s request to suspend an order by US Judge Dolly Gee that requires ICE / DHS to stop detaining migrant children it seeks to expel from the southern border in hotels (except for 72-hour stays).
The stay the 9th Circuit placed on Gee's order expires tomorrow and DHS will be barred from overseeing a large-scale border hotel detention system.

However, @CBSNews reported Friday that ICE quietly stopped holding migrant children in hotels 3 weeks ago:

The 9th Circuit today rejected the Trump admin. argument that children who DHS seeks to summarily expel under a COVID public health order are in the legal custody of the CDC, noting that DHS has all the decision-making authority over them (it detains + expels them).

ICE quietly stopped holding migrant children in border hotels on Sept. 11.

But CBP says unaccompanied minors and families with children can still be expelled from the US, without an opportunity to seek asylum, under COVID restrictions. @CBSNews. 1/
cbsnews.com/news/u-s-stops…
On Sept. 4, a federal judge ordered ICE to stop detaining migrant children in hotels, barring 72-hour stays.

That order, however, is not in effect due to a stay the 9th Circuit keeps extending.

DHS seemed to be complying with an order is not bound to (not yet at least). 2/
The number of unaccompanied children transferred to the US refugee agency—a requirement under anti-trafficking law—has increased in the past weeks.

Between April and July, the refugee agency received 330 children, even as CBP recorded 5,900 + arrests of unaccompanied minors. 3/

The Trump-Biden contest in 35 days is a juncture for US immigration policy, pitting drastically different visions on green card policy, asylum, refugees, ICE detention and deportations and border restrictions against each other. 1/

Our story:
cbsnews.com/news/trump-bid… via @CBSNews
Former and current senior DHS officials said a Biden admin. could face an arduous and long road in reversing Pres. Trump's immigration changes.

"It's not like someone shows up on day one and can stop doing regulation A, B or C," DHS No. 2 Ken Cuccinelli told @CBSNews. 2/
If victorious, Biden will be under pressure to not just to undo Trump’s changes, but to also move away from some Obama-era policies, particularly on deportation and detention.

"I always say that Trump is abusing the ICE deportation machine that Obama built” one activist said. 3/

The scope of the Trump admin.'s COVID policy of expelling migrant children, without affording them humanitarian protections enshrined in US law, was revealed Friday.

8,800 minors apprehended without adult family members have been expelled since March. 1/
cbsnews.com/news/8800-migr…
In addition to 8,800 unaccompanied minors, 7,600 members of migrant families with children were also expelled by border officials.

In total, 159,000 expulsions have been carried under this indefinite pandemic policy, which was authorized by CDC Director Robert Redfield. 2/
How big of a shift is this? US law allows border-crossers to fight their deportation by requesting asylum.

The Trump admin. has worked to restrict asylum for 3 + years, arguing it is abused. But it has never been able to summarily expel migrants—let alone children—until now. 3/
