Uphold the 4th Circuit’s ruling on Kilmar Abrego Garcia - due process imperiled
To: Justices Court
From: A constituent in North Hollywood, CA
April 8
The Court’s 4/7 decision in DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES, ET AL. v. J. G. G., ET AL. at best fails to understand the urgency of the situation - innocent Americans being deported to a foreign prison without due process, under a wartime law in what is clearly peacetime - and at worst gives credence to impressions that President Trump’s glad-handing and thanks to the Court at his joint address to Congress confirmed the end of the Court’s independence.
I urge you to affirm the plain tenets of the Constitution and begin to redress this gross misruling by upholding the 4th Circuit Court’s ruling in the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
I do not believe Chief Justice Roberts, for all of his strongly held Reaganite beliefs, wants to see an end to the fundamental American right to due process, but failure to secure it for Mr. Garcia will assuredly embolden this administration to continue on to political opponents of a similar background. From there it is an increasingly slippery slope.
