Due Process and Deportations Clash
- The Trump administration's fast deportation approach challenges due process rights guaranteed by the Fifth Amendment.
- Skipping trials for many deportees risks errors that can cost lives and erode constitutional protections.
Due Process Applies to All People
- Officials argue immediate deportation is justified without trial for illegal aliens, excluding them from judicial process.
- Experts highlight constitution protects due process for everyone, not just citizens, making such policies legally dubious.
Mistakes in Deportation Cases
- The case of Quilmar Abrego Garcia shows how a man denied deportation was mistakenly sent to prison in El Salvador.
- Lawyers also report clients with pending court dates deported prematurely and wrongful detentions of lawful residents.
