A federal appeals court ruled on June 23, 2026, that the Trump administration can expand a fast-track deportation process. This ruling permits the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to apply expedited removal to non-citizens living far from the U.S. border. The decision by a panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit was made with a 2-1 vote, overturning a previous ruling from August 2025 that blocked the DHS's efforts to broaden the criteria for expedited removal, which has been in place for nearly three decades for migrants apprehended at the border.
