The Trump administration reportedly is moving to arrest illegal migrants after instructing judges to dismiss the aliens' immigration hearings.
According to a memo obtained by NBC News, the Department of Justice is instructing immigration judges, who report to the executive branch, to grant dismissals after allowing Department of Homeland Security lawyers to make oral motions to dismiss.
Migrants typically have had 10 days to respond to the dismissal request.
"Oral decisions must be completed within the same hearing slot on the day testimony and arguments are concluded," the May 30 memo says, NBC News reported.
The memo adds that "[n]o additional documentation or briefing is required" to grant the dismissals.
After their cases are dismissed, migrants "are subject to mandatory detention" by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and can be deported without a chance to make their cases for asylum.
One source close to the immigration judges' union told NBC News that members are upset over the instruction but added the administration's move is legal.
"They [judges] think it makes a mockery of the whole process and that it flies in the face of what [President Donald] Trump ran on. Immigration enforcement means it's done in a fair manner … and this isn't fair," the source said.
The New York Times reported late last month that ICE agents have begun arresting migrants immediately after their hearings if they have been ordered deported, or their cases have been dismissed.
Officials previously had avoided the practice because they believed it would deter people from showing up for hearings.
NBC News reported the May memo misstates the conditions under which the government can move to dismiss a migrant's case under the Immigration and Nationality Act.

Out.
“It’s Not Fair!”
.
Funny Moses said ‘Let My People Go!”
.
Note that the media totally ignores the impact of riots on citizens’ daily lives, rights and property. Instead it always jumps to the defense of illegals.
And then the media wonders why nobody trusts them.
It is not fair that when they are told they cannot stay that they get deported?
keywords??
How about ‘immigration judges union’ ?!
WTheck
The Left wanted to let them in with no due process. They should be deported without due process as well once it is determined that they are in the country illegally. The idea of spending days or weeks in court on millions of such cases is ludicrous.
You can apply for asylum within 2 years of entering. If you’ve been here for longer than that without applying for asylum, I’m sorry, but those are the rules. Sometimes these people are here for 10, 15, 20+ years without applying for asylum, and now they suddenly decide they should. Methinks they’ve been taking advantage of our lazy leftist government for a long time. There’s a new sheriff in town.
Almost certainly a made-up "source"
The mockery was allowing all these people in with clearly bull(dropping) asylum claims.
if they passed through safe (or over if flown in) countries to get here, they should have been automatically denied.
Second-guessing judges need to be replaced.
Their just mad that Trump is taking their endless lists of backlogged cases away. They had the next 20 years of cases booked solid.
“ Immigration enforcement means it’s done in a fair manner … and this isn’t fair.”
Cry me a river. Then get out.
L
Nah, the left is just mad that Trump is getting rid of their VOTERS..without illegals, the Dems cease to exist as a political party
And that would be “Due Process”.
The fraudulent cases are not "fair" to the taxpayer.
The law has been criminally stacked in their favor years. Now the tables are turned, Trump47 is going to eject them any way he can. These termites have been living charmed lives. Due to the Democrats, commies and the DEI minions.
If they ARE doing this, I give it less than a week before some leftist federal judge throws a TRO on it.
I WANT YOU OUT
