The Supreme Court has ruled that Venezuelans at risk of deportation under an archaic wartime law must have due process rights, including the opportunity to contest their removal in court. New procedures disclosed by an immigration official revealed that detainees would receive English notices of their removal and be given limited time to respond. Legal experts criticized this measure, asserting that it undermines established due process principles recognized in prior Supreme Court rulings.
The administration's notion of due process is a joke, said Michael J. Klarman, a law professor and historian at Harvard, emphasizing the inadequacies in the process.
In Goldberg v. Kelly, the justices ruled that before revoking welfare benefits, the government must provide notice and a hearing for individuals to contest actions.
