In order to expedite the deportation of undocumented immigrants who are unable to provide proof of continuous residency in the United States for two years or more, the Trump administration has extended the process.
According to internal documents obtained by CBS, the BBC’s US partner, US border agents have been instructed to summarily deport migrants without giving them the opportunity to seek legal protection.
Additionally, the United States has taken action to halt all refugee processing and travel, leaving thousands of people waiting to enter the country.
In addition to declaring a national emergency at the US-Mexico border, which Trump claims will enable the government to send troops and deploy more resources, he has vowed mass deportations.
