Finra, the financial industry’s self-regulator, is likely to avoid bringing expedited expulsion proceedings against members without SEC input after the D.C. Circuit said that doing so would probably exceed its authority.
Elias Benjelloun’s parents were issued their deportation orders quickly after President-elect Donald Trump first stepped into office in 2016. For the family, Benjelloun said, the deportation order felt somewhat like a betrayal.

Before we ask if Donald Trump can deport millions, remember this: Barack Obama already showed us how. His administration deported 3 million people without military help – just U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, buses, and a ruthless efficiency that earned him the name ‘Deporter-in-Chief.” Parents like Andres Jimenez were sent away for driving without a license, leaving five American children behind. Trump’s first term saw fewer deportations, but now he’s promising to add military muscle.
While FINRA decides whether to appeal a circuit court panel’s ruling that it cannot speedily expel reps without SEC oversight, the regulator believes it can “implement measures” to meet the judges’ demands, according to a FINRA spokesperson.

Among the most immediate effects of such a move would be to tear Nevada families apart, experts predict.

Giddel Contreras lives in the Bronx, works as a chef at a hotel-resort in Queens and is as much a New Yorker as the next guy. But the Honduran native's decision to illegally cross the U.S.-Mexico border back in 1995 means he may now be a target for deportation – despite being married more than a decade to a U.S. citizen, living and working legally in the U.S. for more than 25 years and having a child who's a U.S. citizen.
