No Right to Defense. The Trump Administration Arrests Asylum Seekers at Immigration Court Entrances
The Trump administration has launched a new operation to deport illegal immigrants. Now they are being arrested right in front of court buildings where they come for their case hearings. Cases are closed retroactively, and the arrested individuals enter the so-called «expedited deportation» process. However, in practice, this primarily means the deportation of political refugees who have officially applied for asylum with U.S. authorities.
