The Justice Department is moving up court hearings for hundreds of immigrants and scheduling them for mass hearings. The accelerated process increases the likelihood of rapid deportation proceedings. If immigrants do not appear for the scheduled hearings, they can be ordered deported. The effort aligns with President Trump’s goal of deporting about a million people per year. The changes involve court scheduling practices that affect how quickly cases move through immigration court. The reporting also references a new immigration court location in Concord, indicating ongoing infrastructure for these proceedings.
