trump has some curious views about this country's laws.

Tell it to Elion Gonzalez. His mother died taking him to freedom in America from Cuba and Clinton's gestapo sent him back. Criminal aliens who entered the U.S. illegally can be deported without hearings. Every administration did it but only republicans get blamed.

Your comment piqued my interest so I asked my AI assistant:

Me:
Is an interview before issuing a remove order for someone in the U.S. unlawfully considered "due process"?

AA:
Great question, Mariyam — and the short answer is: it depends on the context and adequacy of the interview.

In U.S. immigration law, due process under the Fifth Amendment does apply to all "persons" within the United States — including noncitizens, whether lawfully or unlawfully present. However, the level and nature of due process owed varies depending on the type of proceeding.

đź§  Key legal points:​

🔹 1. Due Process = Notice + Opportunity to Be Heard

The U.S. Supreme Court has repeatedly held that noncitizens physically present in the U.S. are entitled to due process.
See Zadvydas v. Davis, 533 U.S. 678 (2001)
But that doesn’t mean everyone gets a full trial.

🔹 2. Types of Removal Processes Matter

ProcessDue Process Protections
Formal removal/deportation proceedingsConducted before an immigration judge with right to counsel (at own expense), to present evidence, and to appeal. Clearly includes due process.
Expedited removal (e.g., at border, or within 100 miles of border within 14 days of entry)Limited due process. No hearing before a judge; officer makes the decision. Can sometimes be challenged via habeas corpus.
Reinstatement of removalFor people previously removed who reenter unlawfully. Very limited due process — mostly administrative.
Voluntary returnPerson agrees to leave without formal order. No hearing, limited rights — usually signed away.

🔍 So, is an interview “due process”?​

An interview alone — especially if done by an immigration officer and not a judge — does not necessarily satisfy due process unless:

  • The person was given notice of the removal action
  • They were told the basis for their removal
  • They had a meaningful opportunity to respond or contest it
  • And the process complied with existing legal procedures
If the interview is part of a larger, fair removal hearing — yes, it can be part of due process.
But if it’s the only step, especially under expedited removal, it may fall short.

Wrong.
No one deported anyone without a hearing except for Trump.
Illegal entry in the US is not a crime, its just a regulatory infraction.
The Border Patrol gives people a choice of a hearing or not, and there is a bigger penalty if they choose a hearing and then lose.
No one can ever be deported without a hearing if they want one, because the 5th amendment applies to everyone, including illegal immigrants.

Elion Gonzales was returned to his father since he was the only surviving parent.
 
The OP has some (ie, almost exclusively) asinine views about what our laws say and do.

The Bill of Rights obviously applies to all human being, citizen or not, so you can't do anything to anyone without a hearing.
So things like detaining students here on visas is illegal within 24 hours without a hearing.
 
And what assurance shall there be that the Executive will not train its broad discretionary powers upon its political enemies?

Oh. You mean like Obama and Biden did.

You clowns are horrible hypocrites.
 
Did Garcia or any of the other men he was deported with get a hearing date on the specific matter of their deportation?
Yes. Starting six years ago. Multiple hearings. Two of which resulted in deportation orders.

Doesn't beating your head against a brick wall start to hurt eventually?
 
The Executive possesses enormous powers to prosecute and to deport, but with powers come restraints. If today the Executive claims the right to deport without due process and in disregard of court orders, what assurance will there be tomorrow that it will not deport American citizens and then disclaim responsibility to bring them home?

And what assurance shall there be that the Executive will not train its broad discretionary powers upon its political enemies? The threat, even if not the actuality, would always be present, and the Executive’s obligation to “take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed” would lose its meaning.
Exactly

Without due process , how do we know that those deported aren’t actually citizens?
 
The Bill of Rights obviously applies to all human being, citizen or not, so you can't do anything to anyone without a hearing.

Since you generally don’t have the slightest clue what the **** you babble about, I’m not quite surprised that you don’t grasp the concept of “due process.”

I happen to be one who agrees that the Constitution also secures some rights to all people here, not just citizens. However, the rights it guarantees are not uniform across the board for aliens and citizens alike.

A non citizen can’t legally vote here. Dumbasses like you nevertheless insist that this is tantamount to a denial of due process for aliens.

It isn’t.

Arrest an alien on criminal charges and that alien does get the right to trial, etc.

But, once again, an immigration removal proceeding in any a criminal matter. So the due process rights of an alien are far more circumscribed. And the question remains “what process is the alien sue in that administrative proceeding?”
 

Trump Says Undocumented Immigrants Shouldn’t Get Trials Before Deportation​

President Trump asserted on Tuesday that undocumented immigrants should not be entitled to trials, insisting that his administration should be able to deport them without appearing before a judge.

The remarks, which he made in the Oval Office in front of reporters, were Mr. Trump’s latest broadside against the judiciary, which he has said is inhibiting his deportation powers. Mr. Trump falsely claimed that countries like Congo and Venezuela had emptied their prisons into the United States and that he therefore needed to bypass the constitutional demands of due process to expel the immigrants quickly.

“I hope we get cooperation from the courts, because we have thousands of people that are ready to go out and you can’t have a trial for all of these people,” Mr. Trump said. “It wasn’t meant. The system wasn’t meant. And we don’t think there’s anything that says that.”


I'm not sure who the "we" is in that comment but the 5th A guarantees several fundamental rights in criminal cases. It protects against double jeopardy, self-incrimination, and ensures due process before the government can take away life, liberty, or property.

Is it surprising to see trump admit he is unfamiliar with the founding principles of justice in America? Absolutely not. But even though they are stooges, one would hope people like the AG and Solicitor General have a working knowledge of the laws governing the country. Assuming they are, why haven't they disabused Don of his ignorance? Why are they allowing the POTUS to entertain notions of ruling without regard for the law? Why does he think he should get to choose who gets a trial and who doesn't? How could you folks have elected such a man?

LOL, what about "unvaccinated"?

A Judge Finally Rules Trump Can’t Apply Alien Enemies Act To Alleged Gang Members In The First Place​

Despite the reams of documents, hours of hearings and the unlawful expulsion of Venezuelan detainees, no judge had ruled on whether the Trump administration can even apply the Alien Enemies Act to these alleged gang members — until Thursday.

U.S. District Judge Fernando Rodriguez Jr., a Trump appointee in the Southern District of Texas, ruled that the administration’s contortion of the law — meant to spring to life when a “foreign nation or government” is carrying out an “invasion or predatory incursion” into the United States — went far beyond its scope. The Trump administration has argued that the Venezuelan government, through alleged members of the gang Tren de Aragua, is “invading” the United States.

“The historical record renders clear that the President’s invocation of the AEA through the Proclamation exceeds the scope of the statute and is contrary to the plain, ordinary meaning of the statute’s terms,” Rodriguez wrote. “As a result, the Court concludes that as a matter of law, the Executive Branch cannot rely on the AEA, based on the Proclamation, to detain the Named Petitioners and the certified class, or to remove them from the country.”


The clock is ticking on how long it will be for trumples to throw this trump appointee under the bus.

Allowing the President to unilaterally define the conditions when he may invoke the AEA, and then summarily declare that those conditions exist, would remove all limitations to the Executive Branch’s authority under the AEA, and would strip the courts of their traditional role of interpreting Congressional statutes to determine whether a government official has exceeded the statute’s scope
 
Yes. Starting six years ago. Multiple hearings. Two of which resulted in deportation orders.

Doesn't beating your head against a brick wall start to hurt eventually?

Not that head.
 
15th post
Except that doesn't usually happen though right?
I think it does for CBP border encounters, as few as they are, an "expedited removal".

When ICE gets a non-criminal illegal, I'm not sure what happens, for a criminal illegal I think they get a quick hearing then get a plane ride to CECOT. See post #44.

None of the ten million deported by Clinton, Bush, Obama or Biden got trials
