The Trump administration will introduce a fast-track deportation process which will bypass immigration judges, as it steps up measures to combat illegal immigration.

Under the new rules, any undocumented migrants who can't prove they've been in the US continuously for more than two years can be immediately deported.

President Trump appears to be preparing to make hard line immigration control a key focus of his re-election campaign in 2020.

Omar Jadwat is Director of the Immigrants' rights project of the American Civil Liberties Union who are challenging the change to the deportation rules through the courts.
