US President Donald Trump's administration on Tuesday announced new measures to expand its
immigration crackdown by permitting more summary deportations of undocumented migrants.
The new rules allow immigration officials to pick up any undocumented migrant anywhere in the country and, if that person has been inside the
United States less than two years, the officers can decide themselves to have them deported rather than have the case decided by an immigration judge.
Formerly, US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents could arrest and summarily deport a migrant only if they were detained within 100 miles (160 kilometers) of the US border and were inside the country less than two weeks.
