WASHINGTON, DC- A executive order can include various government policies, such as the one recently signed by President Donald Trump, “Protecting Americans from Invasion”where it orders the immediate deportation of undocumented immigrants to apply.
“The Secretary of Homeland Security will promptly take appropriate measures to utilize all other provisions of the immigration laws or any other federal law (…), to ensure the efficient and expedited removal of aliens from the United States“, indicates the order signed this Tuesday.
The Trump Administration orders the application of this strategy “against all inadmissible and deportable foreigners.”
It places particular emphasis on “those foreigners who threaten the security of the American people.”
The guideline is set out in Section 9, where it states that even New arrivals may be subject to deportationa policy that has also been applied by Democratic governments, but the period of authorized stay may vary in each government.
“(The) efficient deportations of newcomers and other foreigners are authorized,” indicates the order that cites the Immigration and Nationality Law (INA).
Each administration is free to set its deportation priorities, as the Supreme Court confirmed in June 2023, when Republicans pushed for the administration to Joe Biden deport any immigrant, rather than allowing immigrants ICE agents evaluate all the conditions of an undocumented person to determine if he or she was a danger to public safety or national security.
The expedited deportation process worries immigrant advocates because due process can be violated by preventing a person from presenting their case before an immigration judge.
The INA (at 8 USC 1225) when discussing inspection by immigration officials; expedited expulsion of foreigners who arrive inadmissible and referral for hearing indicates that even in expedited deportation, the processes must be before a judge, even if they are expedited.
During the first Trump administration, summary trials were held in temporary facilities in Texas, so that expedited deportations were approved by a judge, although the immigrants did not have a legal representative.
Operational anywhere
Added to the accelerated deportations was the decision of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) so that ICE agents can execute deportation orders in churches, schools, shelters, courts and other places that were considered “sensitive areas”.
ICE affirms that the orders against criminals will be executed, but in churches, for example, it is documented that women with children request refuge to avoid deportation, because they have an order from a judge.
