President Trump’s administration is rapidly altering the immigration court system, aiming to expedite deportations by removing legal protections, canceling legal aid for minors, and relocating detainees. These moves, described by experts and immigration lawyers as an erosion of due process, compromise individuals' rights to a fair trial and access to impartial judges. Critics warn that this trend may extend to lawful permanent residents and U.S. citizens, leading to broader implications for legal rights in America. Asylum seekers particularly suffer from inconsistencies in court outcomes and lack of legal representation, raising alarms about the integrity of the judicial process.
President Trump is chipping away at the right to due process within the immigration court system, immigration lawyers and former judges say, in an effort to fast-track deportations.
Experts argue the administration's actions are weakening the limited due process immigrants in the U.S. are entitled to, and could lead to similar erosion for lawful permanent residents and U.S. citizens.
