WASHINGTON—U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement can now expedite the removal of certain aliens thanks to a recent order issued by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, Sept. 30, 2020.

The Secretary of Homeland Security may designate for expedited removal certain other aliens who are unable to affirmatively demonstrate that they have been physically present in the United States for the 2-year period immediately prior to their determination of inadmissibility.
