US can’t give every person it wants to deport a trial
- President Trump stated that the administration cannot provide trials for all deportees, claiming it would take “200 years” to do so.
- This statement coincides with the ongoing deportation of Venezuelan migrants, many of whom lack criminal records.
- The Supreme Court recently halted deportations under the Alien Enemies Act, citing the necessity for due process in challenging removal cases.
US can’t give every person it wants to deport a trial
US President Donald Trump said on Monday that his administration cannot give everyone it wants to deport a trial “because to do so would take, without exaggeration, 200 years.”
In the post on his social media platform Truth Social, Trump talked about removing criminals and those illegally in the US.
This comes as an increasing number of Venezuelan migrants are deported from the United States, many without a criminal record.
Deportations based on wartime law
Earlier on Monday, lawyers told US justices that the Trump administration was prepared to carry out deportations of dozens of Venezuelan migrants detained in Texas under a 1798 law historically used only during wartime without judicial review and contrary to the Supreme Court’s prior orders.
The rights group American Civil Liberties Union urged the Supreme Court to intervene as dozens of Venezuelan migrants faced deportation without having the possibility to contest their cases in court.
As a reaction, the US Supreme Court halted deportations under the Alien Enemies Act on Saturday.
The Supreme Court recently ruledthat the government can continue deporting under the law, only if the detainees are given due process in which they can challenge the removal.
