Accelerated deportation of migrant families to resume in the United States: what you need to know | Video | CNN

The Department of Homeland Security reported that it plans to accelerate the deportations of some migrant families who cross the southern border illegally.

This means that some families will now be subject to fast track removal proceedings, which allows immigration authorities to remove a person without a hearing before a judge.

The announcement by the Biden administration coincides with the publication on Tuesday of its immigration plan.
