An immigration group sued on Wednesday to block President Donald Trump's move to expand fast-track deportations under his pledge to remove millions of people who are in the country illegally.

People facing fast-track deportations do not have access to an attorney and are unable to present evidence against their removal from the U.S., according to a complaint by Make the Road New York, an immigrant advocacy group.
