U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents carrying out President Donald Trump’s deportation agenda have begun utilizing a new tactic—detaining illegal aliens as they leave mandatory court appearances, aided by the termination of certain cases.

ICE prosecutors request immigration judges to terminate cases in order for ICE officers to arrest the individuals, while qualifying them to be placed on a fast-track deportation program—known as “expedited removal,” speeding up the entire process.
Illegal immigrants—previously permitted entry under the Biden administration—often attend mandatory court hearings anticipating a routine check-in, only to now be unexpectedly detained by ICE officers upon departure.

Non-citizens who entered the country through the asylum process under former Democrat President Joe Biden are also eligible for expedited removal—placing nearly 1 million migrants eligible for deportation.
The most recent ICE operation details seemingly indicate that the Trump administration is now looking to deport illegals who have not committed violent crimes, after prioritizing those with lengthy criminal records and gang affiliation.

President Donald Trump has consistently announced the need for an expedited process.
ICE arrests outside of immigration courts have been reported in several cities, including Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, Seattle, Las Vegas, and Miami. More are expected to come.
