The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and two of its chapters are suing to halt President Trump's attempt to expand "fast-track" deportations without a full hearing. Why it matters: The lawsuit filed Wednesday in U.

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) sued Wednesday over President Trump’s expansion of a program that allows immigration officials to carry out swift deportations. Trump’s Department of Homeland Security on Tuesday issued a rule enabling expedited removals to take place nationwide for migrants who cannot prove they have been in the country for two years.

Plaintiffs in the ACLU’s lawsuit argue the president’s executive order banning birthright citizenship is unconstitutional.
