Operation Streamline

Operation Streamline is a U.S. government program aimed at handling dozens of immigration-related cases simultaneously, primarily those caught crossing the border illegally. Instead of individual trials, many defendants are processed together in large groups, going through a streamlined court procedure. This approach seeks to efficiently manage a high volume of cases by reducing court time and resources. Critics argue it emphasizes deportation over individual legal considerations, while supporters view it as an effective way to enforce immigration laws and maintain border security. Overall, it reflects a strategy to address immigration violations on a large scale swiftly.
