ICE publishes February 2025 policy update to Expedited Removal
In late October 2025, ICE made publicly available a February 28, 2025 memorandum that provided a policy update for expedited removal, the legal mechanism DHS uses to quickly deport certain noncitizens without a deportation hearing. This policy guidance is the implementation of a January 24, 2025 Executive Order, “Designating [Noncitizens] for Expedited Removal.” The ICE guidance is available here.
