A federal judge has blocked Trump's speedy deportations as they violate the mandatory process
In January, Trump reinstated the "immediate expulsions" of immigrants, as he did during his first term (2017-2021).
A federal judge temporarily blocked the measure taken last night by the Donald Trump administration to expedite the deportation of immigrants without papers and proved civil rights groups right.
In January, Trump re-established the "immediate expulsion" of immigrants, a policy he implemented during his first term (2017-2021) and which allows for the rapid deportation of people without papers who cannot prove that they have been in the country for two or more years.
Washington Judge Jia Cobb has ruled against mass deportations ordered by Trump , that is, annulling the star campaign measure, considering that it "prioritizes speed" and "will mislead the government into deporting unnecessary people."
The policy of speedy deportations was denounced by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), the main NGO supporting immigrants in the United States, on behalf of another anti-immigrant organization (Make The Road New York), which called for blocking its impact. The judge has granted the request.
In a 48-page ruling published on Friday night, thejudge says that he does not question the constitutionality of the original policy of speedy deportations, but the extent of that policy.
According to the complaint, the measure violatesthe Fifth Amendment , which is the right to a fair legal process.
Cobb added that "in defending this brief process, the Government provides a truly surprising argument that those who entered the country illegally are not entitled to a trial under the Fifth Amendment, but must accept any grace granted to them by Congress."
"If that were the right thing to do, not only those who are not American citizens, but we would all be in danger," the judge added.
