A federal appeals court gave the Trump administration the green light to resume its fast-track removal of illegal aliens throughout the United States on Tuesday.
In a 2-1 ruling, the three-judge panel for the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals overturned an August 2025 decision by Biden-appointed D.C. District Judge Jia Cobb. That ruling attempted to block the Trump administration’s efforts to expand the “expedited removal” process to increase the deportation of illegal immigrants.
