Expedited hearings lead to more deportations; faith leaders support immigrants in court

A new Trump administration tactic boosts deportations by fast-tracking immigration hearings with little notice.Federal data show that immigration judges nationwide issued more than 50,000 deportation orders for people who did not show up to court last month.On KPBS Midday Edition, we talked about the so-called "mega master" calendar hearings and how they're impacting San Diegans.Plus, it's been one year since an interfaith coalition of faith leaders began accompanying immigrants to court hearings, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) check-ins and other immigration appointments.We sit down with two volunteers with the program.Guests:Gustavo Solis, investigative border reporter, KPBSFr.
