Lankford: Illegal Immigrants Should Get Due Process
Breitbart ^ | 05/07/2025 | Pam Key

Posted on 05/07/2025 6:32:16 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Senator James Lankford (R-OK) said Tuesday on CNN’s “The Arena” that someone being deported for illegally being in the United States should get due process “before they’re removed from the country.”

Host Kasie Hunt said, “President Trump sat down for an extensive interview with Kristen Welker at ‘Meet the Press’ over the weekend. She asked him whether he would uphold the Constitution in providing due process to people who are deported and his answer was not yes. Are you confident that President Trump will uphold the Constitution?”

Lankford said, “I am. I think his answer was, I’ve got good attorneys advising me on all those things, and they’re going to make sure they get it right. What’s been confusing on this is some people see due process like us as American citizens, and that’s a right to a jury trial, that’s all those different things. That’s not true for due process for someone who’s not a citizen of the United States. It’s a different process. It’s often just literally what people call an immigration judge, which is not a typical federal judge or a state judge; this is someone that’s in the bureaucracy.”

The so called judges are trying to turn them into undocumented citizens.

“Senator T. W. Shannon” has a nice ring to it.

This is the POS that pushed that awful immigration bill 2 years ago. It would have made it impossible to shut the border.

What “rights” do they have while they have “due Process”? Do they have rights to free everything on U.S. taxpayers while the process takes years?

Did people read what he actually said? Due process is appearing before an immigration judge.

Yes. Immigration law says they can be deported immediately. So now they want Trump to NOT follow the law.

Deportation is due process.

It’s a process that is long overdue.

They are not legally or constitutionally required to have Due Process.

PERIOD.

This is a left wing made up talking point.

From 1903:

THE JAPANESE IMMIGRANT CASE.

An administrative officer, when executing the provisions of a statute involving the liberty of persons, may not disregard the fundamental principles of due process of law as understood at the time of the adoption of the Constitution. Nor is it competent for any executive officer, at any time within the year limited by the statute, to arbitrarily cause an alien who has entered the country, and has become subject in all respects to its jurisdiction, and a part of its population, although illegally here, to be arrested and deported without giving such alien an opportunity, appropriate to the case, to be heard upon the questions involving his right to be and remain in the United States.

An ICE agent catches an illegal alien one inch on the American side of the Rio Grande (after they swam across the river).

The Senator wants them to be taken to an immigration judge for “due process” instead of deported on the spot.

This is one reason why so many of us hate lawyers.

He is the epitome of a devil. He tries to look the part with his style, but deep down inside, he will go where needed for more money.

Due process isn’t a long term court appearance, it’s a 1 minute or so sit down with an admin processing the deportation.

“Translation: My donors demand cheap labor.”

That cheap labor myth should have been retired many millions of illegals ago.

The reason for the massive invasion of illegals is for the utter destruction of the traditional American nation and one party rule of democrats forever.

The Supreme Court has ruled otherwise, several times.

I just read that Clinton deported about 12 million without due process.

If that is correct, was Lankford complaining about Clinton’s deportations????
