Overview

• 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.
