The U.S. Department of Homeland Security memo provides guidance for the use of a fast-track deportation process that the Trump administration reinstated earlier this week, suggesting officers focus on migrants who failed to request asylum within a one-year deadline after arriving in the U.

President Donald Trump signed more executive orders aimed at shutting down the southern border, but the details on how migrants would be blocked from crossing remain unclear.

U.S. border agents have been instructed to summarily deport migrants crossing into the country illegally without allowing them to request legal protection.
