Trump says he’s unsure whether people in the US are entitled to due process

US President Donald Trump says he’s unsure whether people in the US are entitled to due process rights guaranteed in the US Constitution as his administration pushes aggressively to deport immigrants who are in the country illegally and other noncitizens.

Trump makes the comments during an interview conducted on Friday that is set to air today on NBC’s “Meet the Press with Kristen Welker.” Welker asks Trump whether he agrees with Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who said last month that “of course” all people in the US are entitled to due process, which generally requires the government to provide notice and a hearing before taking certain adverse legal actions.

“I don’t know. I’m not, I’m not a lawyer. I don’t know,” Trump says, adding that such a requirement would mean “we’d have to have a million or 2 million or 3 million trials.”

Trump adds that his lawyers “are going to obviously follow what the Supreme Court said.”
