NPR - The Trump administration is working to quickly arrest, detain and remove people from the U.S. as part of the president's campaign promise to implement mass deportations. Critics of the administration’s tactics say that such fast action skirts the due process that everyone in the country should receive. The administration is making several changes that impact due process, including increasing the number of people who can be removed without a court hearing and terminating contracts that provide legal services to minors without legal status.
The administration seems to be banking on Americans believing that
noncitizens don’t get the same due process as citizens, Muzaffar
Chishti of the Migration Policy Institute tells NPR’s Ximena Bustillo.
Chishti says the Constitution "does not make any distinctions between
citizens and noncitizens for the application of protections of due
process and judicial review." He adds that the ultimate concern is that
stripping due process for one group could be a slippery slope for others.
