BrynoDC Coverage 1 video
Overview
Overview
Immigrant rights organizations sued the Trump administration over its policies expanding the expedited removal policy to include individuals who entered the United States through a humanitarian parole process.
The Issue
Issue
Whether the Trump administration's expansion of expedited removal authority to include individuals who entered through humanitarian parole violates the Immigration and Nationality Act or the Administrative Procedure Act.
The Rules
Rule
Under INA § 235(b)(1), expedited removal applies to certain aliens who arrive at a port of entry without proper documents or are found in the U.S. without admission or parole; parolees have historically been treated as a distinct category not subject to expedited removal.
The Application
Analysis
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
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.
