Subsequent Trump and Court Action

2025.06.10 Motion to Postpone Effective Date of Agency Action - Make the Road New York v. Noem

Make the Road New York moved to stay the effective date of the expanded expedited removal Federal Register Notice described in this entry and the guidance issued on January 23, 2025, implementing the expansion designation. The motion argues that the expansion violates the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment and the INA by authorizing summary deportations of noncitizens already residing in the United States without notice or a hearing and challenges the use of expanded expedited removal against affirmative asylum applicants who entered without inspection as well as on the basis of people in the interior charged with not possessing valid entry documents. Plaintiffs contend that immediate postponement is necessary to prevent irreparable harm to their members, who now face sudden detention and removal while complying with lawful proceedings. Make the Road New York v. Noem, No. 1:25-cv-00190 (D.D.C.).
