() A new bill aims to expedite deportations of migrants as the fight over immigration raids intensifies.

Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., told “Morning in America” on Tuesday the REMOVE Act which stands for Rapid Expulsion of Migrant Offenders who Violate and Evade aims to streamline the immigration process and reduce delays in enforcing removal orders.

The bill would require the timely removal proceedings of migrants who have been served with a “notice to appear.”

The Department of Homeland Security currently has a 90-day window to remove those in the U.S. illegally, but Blackburn’s bill aims to reduce that window to 15 days.

“Expediting this removal goes ahead and allows your local law enforcement to turn [violent criminals] to ICE and for them to get them out of the country and out of these communities where many of these gangs have kind of set up shop,” Blackburn said.

“Then you have the crime that has escalated from these communities. You have drug traffickers, sex traffickers and people want them removed from their neighborhoods and communities,” she added.
