Trump Refuses to Affirm Constitutional Limits in Immigration Crackdown

In a startling interview, President Donald Trump hesitated to say he must uphold the Constitution, raising questions about whether his aggressive immigration agenda violates due process. He specifically cast doubt on Fifth Amendment protections for migrants, calling constitutional safeguards “impractical” for mass deportations. Critics say such remarks reveal a disregard for basic legal principles. The exchange has sparked concern among civil rights groups and legal scholars about the administration’s respect for rule of law.
