ACLU files suit challenging expedited deportations rule
A lawsuit filed Tuesday challenges the Trump administration’s expedited deportations of “certain aliens” that began July 23 after stating it would help with the “humanitarian crisis” at the U.S.-Mexico border.
The American Civil Liberties Union, American Immigration Council, and Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP filed a federal lawsuit in federal court in Washington, D.C., on behalf of immigrant community organizations Make the Road New York, We Count! and local advocacy group, La Unión del Pueblo Entero, or LUPE, of San Juan, according to the filing.
The 38-page document alleges violations of the Administrative Procedure Act, Immigration and Nationality Act, and the Fifth Amendment’s due process clause.
The ACLU of the District of Columbia is co-counsel.
