Due process is in the 14th amendment but that is ok because you know there is a constitutional issue. I give you an A-. This is the greatest unconstitutional act I have ever seen in any Government agency. This is NOT Homeland Security!! This is GESTAPO driven by campaign contributions. You can’t make up a reason “Home Land Security”would be involved as Judge and Jury on this issue. We have Courts for this stuff. This follows on the heals of unreasonable search of your crotch area by another bunch of goons at HLS— the TSA. You will not believe the wrath of the Supreme court on this crap. You will see a merging of conservatives and liberals on the Court to wipe put this dark page from our history. DUE PROCESS DAMMIT!

From the text of the 5th Amendment:

:...nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;...”

The 14th amendment takes a couple of existing clauses, puts them together and applies them to states. Up until the time it was added it had been ruled that the Bill of Rights didn’t apply to states, and this amendment ensured that equal protection and due process would apply.

The 5th amendment has always been a limitation on the Federal government, and DHS is purely Federal.
