The article discusses the significance of due process and habeas corpus in the context of immigrant rights during President Trump's administration. It highlights the contrasting views on due process, particularly statements from Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller suggesting it only applies to criminal defendants. The Supreme Court's stance underscores that due process must be assured even for non-citizens facing deportation. Various political figures, including Senator Maggie Hassan, emphasize the importance of these rights in distinguishing democratic societies from authoritarian regimes.
The writ of habeas corpus is available to anyone who's been held by the government and who says that they're being held illegally.
Due process guarantees the rights of a criminal defendant facing prosecution, not an illegal alien facing deportation, according to Stephen Miller.
Senator Maggie Hassan stated that habeas corpus is the foundational right that separates free societies, like America, from police states, like North Korea.
The Supreme Court emphasized that the government must provide due process of law in any future proceedings regarding immigration issues.
