Trump proves that he has no idea what the Constitution is--again [View all]
Attempting to deflect from courts repeatedly ruling against his immigration policy, President Donald Trump lied to reporters on Monday, claiming that the courts fabricated the need for cases to be hearddespite the right to a trial being a constitutional law for more than 234 years.
The courts have all of a sudden, out of nowhere, they said, maybe you have to have trials. Trials, were going to have 5 million trials? Doesnt work, doesnt work. You wouldnt have a country left, he said.
Trump has been under fire for denying detainees due process. Students like Mahmoud Khalil and Rümeysa Öztürk have been abducted for their pro-Palestinian advocacy, and legal U.S. resident Kilmar Abrego Garcia was wrongly captured and deported to El Salvador.
On April 30, a court ordered the release of Columbia University student Mohsen Mahdawi, a Palestinian immigrant who was held by the Department of Homeland Security while it tried to find a reason for his deportation.
