Brian Kilmeade Faces Backlash for Dismissing Due Process for Undocumented Immigrants

Kilmeade's remarks on Fox News coincide with ongoing legal challenges to Trump's deportation plans, with an appeals court hearing oral arguments today.

• Brian Kilmeade stated on 'Fox & Friends' that undocumented immigrants 'don’t deserve' due process, citing logistical impracticalities for millions of cases.
• Critics argue Kilmeade's position undermines constitutional protections guaranteed under the Fourteenth Amendment, which ensures due process for all persons in the U.S.
• Legal experts warn that bypassing due process could lead to wrongful deportations, further eroding fundamental rights and the rule of law.
• Kilmeade's comments align with President Trump's hardline immigration agenda, including his 2024 campaign promise to deport millions of undocumented immigrants.
• An appeals court is hearing oral arguments today on whether to uphold a lower court’s block on Trump’s deportation plans, which rely on the Alien Enemies Act of 1798.
