Doesn't matter if he's committed crimes or violated conditions of his green card. He is still entitled to due process. Just because a person commits crimes does not mean the government gets to commit crimes.

Just because this guy is a lying bigot, doesn't set aside due process.

The consistent theme is weakness. The school coddled Hamasniks on campus through illegal intimidation, harassment, blocking the free movement of people. And now the school coddles and rolls over to the authoritarianism and threats of the Trump regime.

Hopefully you see the obvious trap, having target Mahmoud Khalil as a case for chipping away at the foundation of due process, not merely the perimeter?

The ADL is defending his arrest and deportation. It's obscene.

Trump said vandalism of Telsas will be labeled as terrorism. Who will stop those arrests and eventual deportations? Where would they go? South American countries were lining up to be paid to take U.S. deportees. U.S. citizens absolutely can be made to disappear unless we all understand the law is paramount. Due process can never be set aside.

Legal immigrants in US does have most due process, but they ALSO all have "deferred prosecutorial discrection" hanging over their head until they "waved that US flag" in INS ceremony.

In short, all legal immigrants are still on the hook, despite affording most of the US judicial protection.

And legal immigrants' due process at final stage are done entirely within US immigration court before any deportation (and OPTIONALLY after any local/state criminal/civil court cases). Do not need to be charged to land in immigration court.

This is THE hill to die on if you want unrestricted immigration.

Unrestricted immigration was the norm for a very long time and due process remained intact.

The Constitution says persons are owed due process, in two amendments. Due process isn't limited to only citizens.

I will point out it's a white American man, a rapist and a felon, and vile insurrectionist, along with his corrupt cadre, who are opposing due process. They are abducting people without charges in the night, scurrying them away to a different jurisdiction quickly, while actively slowing justice by inhibiting right to counsel. It's hallmark authoritarianism.

Are you sure you are a law student because no lawyers would subscribe to your various assertions.
