Expanded Expedited Removal: What You Should Know
Posted on Oct 21 2020
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has announced it is implementing the Trump administration’s plan to expand expedited removal – a process where ICE can deport someone without allowing them to speak to a judge. Expanded expedited removal does not apply to most of the immigrants in the United States. Check out the resources below to find out about your rights in an encounter with ICE. If you are an ILCM client, call your case handler if you have any questions about expedited removal. If you are not an ILCM client, you can call our intake line to set up a consultation.
Call our office at 651-641-1011 or 1-800-223-1368 during the following intake hours to schedule an appointment to speak to a legal staff member:
Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays: 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Thursdays: 1-7:30 p.m.
