The Application
The Expedited Removal Policy extends expedited removal to parolees, interpreting them as falling within the statute's scope. Plaintiff organizations contend this expansion exceeds the statute's limits and either violates the INA or fails to follow proper administrative procedures.
The Conclusion
The case is active before Judge Jia M. Cobb in the D.C. District Court; the court will determine whether parolees may be subjected to expedited removal under current statutory authority.
