My bf was deported in 2002 after finishing a sentence of 2 years for parole violation involving drugs. He recently went back to Texas and was arrested in the border by the US Marshalls- he was only given 6 months (thank God) for the illegal reentry. He has about a month til his release date and was just recently transfered to another detention center in Pearsall. He says that he is with all the illegal immigrants and that the majority are being released about a week early. So if this does happen, can he ask for an expedited removal so that he can be deported quickly? Or does he not even have to ask for it, and will automatically have it done since it is reentry and was arrested while trying to enter? And how long does it usually take to deport to mexico if you are expedited?
