Laura Barron-Lopez:
In recent weeks, multiple federal courts have blocked the president’s deportations, especially under the Alien Enemies.
A Republican-appointed federal judge said that, if the administration is claiming it has the authority to send migrants to foreign prisons with no due process, then what assurance will there be to Americans that they won’t be deported and then the government takes no responsibility for returning them?
A few days after, about a week or so after that ruling, three U.S. citizen children were deported by the administration, along with their undocumented mothers. And those lawyers for those children told me that they had no ability to talk to legal counsel or to go through due process.
Do you think ultimately that the courts are going to be the check on President Trump’s immigration agenda?
