Trump: "I don't know" if everyone is entitled to due process
Read Original Source
President Trump said he doesn't know if everyone in the U.S., citizens or non-citizens, is entitled to due process — the constitutional command stated in both the Fifth and the Fourteenth Amendment. "I don't know. I'm not, I'm not a lawyer. I don't know," Mr. Trump told NBC News' Kristen Welker on "Meet the Press" after she asked him whether he agreed that everyone on U.S. soil is entitled to due process in the court of law.
AI Summary
Main Idea: President Donald Trump said he does not know whether everyone in the U.S. is entitled to due process, raising fresh questions about his view of the Constitution and a Supreme Court order in the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case.
Key Points:
- Trump told NBC News he was unsure if due process protections apply to citizens and non-citizens alike.
- He also said he did not know whether he is required to uphold the Constitution as president.
- The comments came as he discussed efforts to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the U.S. after an “administrative error” led to his deportation.
- Trump said his administration may seek more guidance from the Supreme Court, while Abrego Garcia remains in El Salvador and his family continues to press for his return.
Impact on the People
Negative Impact
Trump’s comments on due process and the Supreme Court can weaken trust in the rule of law and raise fears that rights for citizens and immigrants may be unevenly protected.
Positive Impact
The public debate may push courts and officials to clarify immigration law and constitutional limits, which could improve guidance for voters and agencies.
