The term due process has ignited intense discussions across the nation. But what does due process truly entail? What are the implications when due process is overlooked? Furthermore, why has due process become such a critical issue in the ongoing dialogue surrounding the executive and judicial branches of the government?

In response to these pressing questions, The Shade Room’s correspondent A.B. Burns-Tucker is providing insightful explanations on ‘TSR Newz.’

Understanding the Urgency of the Due Process Debate

According to Burns-Tucker, the discussion surrounding due process surged to prominence during former President Donald Trump’s aggressive initiatives aimed at mass deportation. The host notes that Trump proclaimed a national emergency to tackle what he perceives as a significant “illegal migrant problem” affecting the United States. As a result, foreign gangs like MS-13 have been classified as terrorist organizations, allowing for the deportation of individuals linked to these groups, labeling them as “foreign enemies of America.”

However, the essence of due process emphasizes the necessity of having defined “policy and procedure” in place to ensure that any deportations are conducted fairly and justly. Burns-Tucker highlights that due process is explicitly referenced twice in the Constitution, reinforcing its importance in safeguarding individual rights.

“No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without… process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws,” as articulated in the 14th Amendment according to Congress.gov.

It is essential to recognize that due process encompasses two distinct types: procedural due process and substantive due process.

Exploring the Concept of Procedural Due Process

According to Burns-Tucker, procedural due process is a fundamental legal principle that ensures if the government seeks to infringe upon an individual’s life, liberty, or property, that person is entitled to a fair judicial process. This means every individual has the right to a fair day in court, where they can present their case and defend their rights.
