The Trump administration will speed up the deportation process of undocumented immigrants in the U.S. with a new rule to be published on Tuesday.<br />For more on this and other news from around the world, let's turn to our Hong Yoo.<br />Tell us more about this new rule.<br /><br />The U.S. Department of Homeland Security's new rule will apply "expedited removal" to any illegal crossers who cannot prove they have been in the country for two years or more.<br />The rule currently only applies for people apprehended along the southern border with Mexico or at a port of entry who cannot prove they have been in the U.S. for more than 14 days.<br />But the new rule would apply to those arrested anywhere in the U.S. who have not been in the country for more than two years.<br />The apprehended people will not be reviewed by an immigration judge if they aren't recognized as asylum seekers.<br />The Trump administration expects the speedy deportation process to resolve a huge back-log in immigration courts and free up detention space.<br />But the new rule is coming under intense criticism.<br />The American Civil Liberties Union, a nonprofit organization that has fought against numerous Trump immigration policies, has vowed to sue.<br />Human Rights Watch warned the change makes people living in U.S. communities subject to an opaque deportation process with limited judicial review.<br />
