Due process provision in the ‘big beautiful bill’

More from this show

A provision in the national budget bill, also known as the “big beautiful bill,” could cause big changes to the due process.

The due process provides protections for individuals from arbitrary actions from the government as a constitutional right. This includes deportation, as deportation without being able to appear before a judge is a violation of the due process.

This is coming about as the Trump Administration is facing several rulings for not allowing deported individuals their due process. This due process provision would make any ruling regarding the hindering of the due process against President Trump unenforceable.

Robert McWhirter, a Constitutional Law Expert, joined “Arizona Horizon” to provide insight on this provision to the due process.
