WTH: Does Every Deportation Require Due Process? Jonathan Turley Explains

America’s immigration law and system are broken. President Biden
allowed millions of people to enter the United States illegally.
And now President Trump is using obscure laws to try to
fast-track a massive deportation campaign. Expedited removal and
deportations without court hearings are legal and supported by
the vast majority of Americans. However, members of Congress have
the power to clarify immigration laws and fix a system clogged up
by an influx of asylum cases – if they choose to use it. How many
deportation cases actually require a court hearing? And how can
Trump work with Congress to further his immigration agenda?


Jonathan Turley is the Shapiro Professor of Public Interest Law
at George Washington University. At GWU, he is also the Director
of the Environmental Law Advocacy Center and Executive Director
of the Project for Older Prisoners. Professor Turley has served
as counsel in some of the most notable cases in the last two
decades, including the representation of whistleblowers, military
personnel, judges, and members of Congress, and has testified
before Congress over 100 times. His latest book is The
Indispensable Right: Free Speech in an Age of Rage (Simon and
Schuster, 2024).
