US to fast track immigration laws for deportation of illegal migrants

The US government is introducing a new fast-track deportation process that will bypass immigration courts.

Under the new rules, migrants who cannot prove they have been in the us continuously for more than two years can be immediately deported.

Until now, expedited deportations could only be applied to those detained near the border who had been in the US for less than two weeks.

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) says it will challenge the policy in court.

Rights groups say hundreds of thousands of people could be affected as the new rule is expected to be

Implemented with immediate effect after it is published on Tuesday.
