WASHINGTON — Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary John Kelly has drafted new orders to agency heads that would considerably expand the number of immigrants who can be detained and deported under new executive orders President Donald Trump signed last month.
Under the proposed orders, which were contained in two memorandums written for distribution to agency heads and dated Friday, hundreds of thousands more immigrants in the United States illegally would be subject to what’s known as expedited removal proceedings to quickly get them out of the country.
