Illegal immigrants convicted of a federal crime may be deported more quickly under a policy move announced by Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Thursday.
The nation's top law enforcement officer announced the expansion and modernization of the Justice Department's Institutional Hearing Program, which holds deportation hearings for illegal immigrants while they are still in federal prison.
According to Sessions, the program would speed up the process by removing the criminal immigrant as soon as their sentence is completed, as opposed to sending them to an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility for deportation.
