Los Angeles, US (EFE).- The administration of the United States President Donald Trump is resorting to a legal procedure that allows for the rapid and nearly secret deportation of immigrants deemed «alien terrorists» through a specialized court.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) has until Wednesday to submit supplementary information regarding the request made to the Alien Terrorist Removal Court (ATRC), a body that had remained inactive since its creation was approved by the US Congress in 1996.
The request was made on July 15 without revealing the identity of the person sought for deportation.
One day later, the Washington-based court held a hearing where the case and the reason for the Trump administration resorting to this court were presented.
The proceeding had gone unnoticed until the website Court Watch detected the judicial documents.
