The Trump administration is engaged in a critical debate about due process as defined by the Constitution, particularly relating to the Fifth Amendment. A recent video clip from a Meet the Press interview has captured President Trump's uncertain stance on whether both citizens and noncitizens deserve due process. This questioning reflects broader concerns about the administration's commitment to constitutional rights, especially for those who may have entered the U.S. illegally, which the Supreme Court has stated are protected under due process laws.
According to the Constitution's Fifth Amendment, "no person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law." The Supreme Court itself declared that this includes those who have entered the US illegally.
In a recent interview with Meet the Press, Trump was questioned about his obligation to uphold due process law as outlined in the Constitution, and his uncertain response raised eyebrows.
