Support the ACLU in Fighting Trump’s Expedited Deportations

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has taken a vital step to defend immigrant rights by suing to stop President Trump’s dangerous expansion of expedited deportations. This new rule allows immigration officials to deport individuals across the entire United States without a proper hearing if they cannot prove they’ve lived in the country for two years. It disregards due process, a fundamental principle of our justice system.

Under the Biden administration, expedited removals were limited to areas near international borders. Trump’s expansion drastically broadens the program, creating significant risks of errors, rights violations, and devastating family separations. Immigrants fleeing danger and seeking safety deserve a chance to have their case heard in court—not to be fast-tracked into deportation with no oversight.

Organizations like the ACLU and Make the Road New York are fighting back to protect due process and ensure fairness for immigrant communities. As Arlenis Morel, co-executive director of Make the Road New York, stated: “To fast track the deportation of people... without even a chance to see a judge will only sow fear in immigrant communities and increase the terror of being separated from loved ones forever.”

We must stand in solidarity with these advocates to defend the rights of immigrants. By signing this petition, you’re showing your support for the ACLU’s lawsuit and the fight against unjust policies that strip individuals of their constitutional rights. Let’s send a powerful message: Due process is a cornerstone of democracy, and we will not stand by as it’s undermined.
