Policy Update: Expedited Removal Temporarily Blocked 9/8/25

On August 29th, a federal judge temporarily blocked the expedited removal of those who entered the country under parole.Under immigration law, expedited removal allows the government to deport those who entered without inspection within the previous 2 years. However the law also specifically excludes those who have been paroled into the country from being subject to expedited removal.Under the Trump Administration, ICE has been ignoring this section of the law and using expedited removal against thousands of people who were paroled into the country under the Biden Administration.
