“Those who arrive at our border and do not have a legal basis to stay will have made the journey often having suffered horrific trauma and having paid their life savings to the smugglers only to be quickly removed,” he told reporters in laying out his plans last month. “Under the Biden administration, expedited removals is nothing more than a misleading phrase,” he told The Washington Times in a statement. “Few migrants are removed and even fewer are expedited. The current use of expedited removals as a substitute for Title 42 will sound tough, but it will actually do nothing to make our country safer since only seven percent of those processed for expedited removals are removed from the U.S. at all.
