Importance of Due Process

Matt Gagnon discussed the importance of due process, criticizing the Trump administration’s rhetoric on the issue despite its actions adhering to due process. He highlighted the Garcia case, noting that Garcia had multiple immigration hearings. Gagnon argued that due process is crucial for protecting citizens and preventing government abuse, citing historical examples like Nazi Germany. He also addressed concerns about the Trump administration’s potential interference with legal services and the Garcia case, suggesting it might involve FBI cooperation. Gagnon emphasized the need for more immigration judges to expedite due process rather than depriving it.
