Federal Courts Buck Trump Deportation Schemes, Focusing on Due Process Rights
The Trump administration’s aggressive push to deport migrants has run up against resistance from the judiciary.
It Is Happening Every Day, Every Where
The Trump administration’s aggressive push to deport migrants has run up against resistance from the judiciary.
Before the Trump presidency, there was broad consensus that the 14th Amendment established birthright citizenship for children born in the United States.
The solicitor general contended that a group of migrants had barricaded themselves inside a Texas detention center and threatened to take hostages.
President Trump has ordered federal agencies to halt their use of “disparate-impact liability,” which has been used to assess whether policies discriminate against different groups.
In an emergency application, the Trump administration asked the Supreme Court to allow it to revoke protections provided to migrants from troubled countries.
Lower courts had blocked the policy, saying it was not supported by evidence and violated equal protection principles.
The case, involving a 20-year-old Venezuelan, exemplifies yet another way the White House has sought new and aggressive methods to expel immigrants from the United States.
It remained unclear whether the diplomatic effort was a genuine bid by the White House to address the plight of the immigrant, Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia.
