Trump calls for deporting illegal immigrants with 'no judges or court cases'

President Donald Trump ratcheted up his demands on immigration, saying that people who “invade” the US illegally should be deported immediately without going through normal judicial processes.

“We cannot allow all of these people to invade our Country,” Trump said on Sunday on Twitter while in a motorcade headed to his golf course in Virginia. “When somebody comes in, we must immediately, with no Judges or Court Cases, bring them back from where they came. Our system is a mockery to good immigration policy and Law and Order.”



The US President went on to say that the existing immigration policy ends up piling a huge disadvantage on Americans who follow the legal route and wait for years to get citizenship. Trump also raised a fresh call to base the decision to grant immigration on merit.


Earlier, Trump leaned once again on Democratic lawmakers to “fix” immigration laws and prevent people attempting to “break into” the US. “We need strength and security at the Border! Cannot accept all the people trying to break into our Country.

Strong Borders, No Crime!” The stepped-up rhetoric came after the administration late Saturday announced a series of steps to reunite families that had been separated at the border under a now-abandoned policy.

The Department of Homeland Security statement set out a process for divided family members to locate one another following days of confusion about how the administration would reunite children taken from caregivers under Trump’s “zero tolerance” approach toward border crossings.

As he hits the road to support Republican candidates in November’s mid-term elections, the president has returned to a signature issue that powered his 2016 campaign for the White House.

On Saturday, during an event in Las Vegas, Trump warned that the US risked being “overrun” by “millions and millions” of people pouring into the country. On Sunday, he said US immigration policy was “laughed at all over the world”.
