The US government is introducing a new rule that will see migrants deported within the shortest time possible.
The new rule will allow the US government to immediately deport illegal or undocumented migrants who cannot vividly prove to be in the US continuously for more than two years.
Sources say the new rule is set to be made public today and thereafter implemented across the US without any delay.
Apparently, migrants who had been in the US for less two weeks could be deported quickly if detained within 160km of the border.
Migrants who would have lived in the US for more than two weeks would not face immediate deportation but would be processed through the immigration courts and would be entitled to legal representation before final determination, the new policy is set to bypass immigration courts.
However, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) rights group will be heading to court to challenge the policy and probably stop President Donald Trump from turning it into a law
"We are suing to quickly stop Trump's efforts to massively expand the expedited removal of immigrants. Immigrants that have lived here for years will have less due process rights than people get in traffic court. The plan is unlawful. Period," ACLU tweeted
Political analysts are saying the new policy is a political move by Trump, where a hardline immigration control will be a key element of his re-election campaign come 2020.
On the other hand, a section of security agencies in the US are saying the new policy will help in controlling solve the ongoing immigration crisis.
Kevin McAleenan, acting secretary of Homeland Security said the new policy will "help to alleviate some of the burden and capacity issues" at the border as quoted by BBC.
