…Even w/ #Trump’s early #ExecutiveOrders, his admin has to contend w/overwhelmed #immigration courts where #asylum cases can take years. Trump expanded a fast-track #deportation process known as expedited removal, but it only applies to those in the US for 2yrs or less & gives migrants the ability to claim asylum.

The #AlienEnemiesAct could allow Trump to rapidly #deport migrants deemed part of an "invasion or predatory incursion"-a novel use of a #law previously only invoked in #wartime.

Other #policies mentioned by #RussVought dovetail w/ #Trump’s plans, such as embracing a #wartime footing on the southern #border & rolling back #TransgenderRights. #Agenda47, the campaign’s #policy blueprint, calls for revoking President #Biden’s order expanding #GenderAffirming care for #transgender people; Vought uses even more extreme language, decrying the “transgender sewage that’s being pumped into our schools & institutions” & referring to gender-affirming care as “chemical castration.”
