The U.S. Supreme Court swept away this week another obstacle to one of President Donald Trump's most aggressively pursued policies - mass deportation - again showing its willingness to back his hardline approach to immigration.

An immigration judge on Wednesday said she needed more time to review the case of an undocumented immigrant who police investigators say was set up and delayed a hearing for a week.

Inside Chicago’s immigration, ICE officials relied on agents dressed casually and posing as court watchers to tip off waiting agents the minute immigrants’ cases were dismissed. According to a New York Times report, citing a government memo, the government prosecutors were instructed to help ICE agents identify people likely to be deported.
